    iPhone 6 Battery Problems?

    I found a story on phoneArea.com that speculated that Apple was going to have to deal with the large numbers of people with iPhone 6 (not 6s) who are having battery problems since 10.2 came out. Perhaps even extend the very limited 6s battery replacement program to the 6 as well. Anyone heard...
