Operating system crashing as well as Apps, occasional cellular loss

Iphone 6

After updating to IOS 9.2.1 I noticed my phone was crash happy,but only to a minor annoyance. I lived with it. Weeks later and the cellular goes out (searching) and I end up having to do a reset from the phone ( Itunes wouldn't cooperate) I finish this and phone comes back with cellular, but its still crashing (crashes to apple symbol, but not a full restart.. its quick restart)

I get home make a backup, and do a restore, first problem is the phone cant use the backup I had made, tells me it was corrupt. I install as new phone, phone boots up and says it cant activate through itunes. This requires me to do a restore again but this time as a new phone.

Anyhow.. Cut to the chase, this phone has been crashing a lot, both in apps and in operating system. The only other symptom is the cellular loss that occasionally happens. Another new symptom was I was using GPS to find the AT&T store and on a prompt it froze, and was flashing back and fourth, couldn't get off the screen, just had to hard reset)

I will also say, this phone was never dropped, dunked or jailbroke. I also tried to restore back to 9.2.0 and Itunes would not allow me even though I used the official file from them. The amount of restores Ive gone through on this phone leads me to believe its hardware.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Ive been having another thought. I wonder if its my version of ios 9.2.1 that is corrupt. I did it through the phone on its own. But this may be something I need to ask Apple. Maybe all the restores are not doing anything but leaving the potentially corrupted 9.2.1 alone and just wiping it clean of settings and files.

Bring it to a dealer where they can comm with your phone during same procedures. Warning, you may be looking at an irreparable problem. It may have moisture damage from going in & out of doors.

I do not have a Apple Store in my area, I do have an Simply Mac. I might try them, though the google ratings for my local one scare me haha. Personally I do not think its from moisture. On my iphone case I opted for one that protects the bottom lighting port from pocket lint etc. Not a waterproof case but still better than nothing.
