Apple offers free replacement of iPhone 6s faulty batteries

Apple announces that only a handful of devices manufactured between September and October 2015 are affected

We thought we were done with battery related issues in smartphones. Well, think again. Apple is offering a free battery replacement for some of the iPhone 6s devices that shut down randomly.



Apple has announced that only a handful of devices manufactured between September and October 2015 are affected. "Don’t worry, it’s not a repeat of the Samsung Note 7 exploding saga but rather a small manufacturing defect."

According to the company's statement, "Apple has determined that a very small number of iPhone 6s devices may unexpectedly shut down. This is not a safety issue and only affects devices within a limited serial number range that were manufactured between September and October 2015."



"If you have experienced this issue, please visit an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorised Service Provider and have your device's serial number checked to confirm eligibility for a battery replacement, free of charge."
