I noticed a weird bug on my device and was wondering if anyone else can replicate it.

Tested device:
iPhone 7 (iOS 11.2)

Steps:
1. Launch an app*
2. Immediately press the Sleep Button while the zoom-in app launch animation effect is still playing.
3. Try to wake the device by pressing either the Home Button or Sleep Button.

If done correctly, my iPhone will remain in Sleep Mode when if I press the buttons. The screen will stay off and not enter the Lock Screen. The fact that the Home Button still clicks means that iOS hasn't completely crashed and is just stuck in this state. Plugging in a power cable, however, will make the device work again.

* The bug only occurs when launching certain apps. I've observed this with both the Amazon and Ebay apps, but Discord seems to be unaffected.

With some apps it seems to freeze the phone in sleep until the app finishes launching. Pretty strange.
