Come back and post that once the FAA starts to ban Apple products from flights due to the risk of fire/explosion.
Gee...........advantage iPhone.
I guess no matter what it is, there is always something worse.
We feel so much better now, thanks.

make a zillion phones and a small number will likely have some sort of defect. without testing every single phone that comes off the line, there is no 100% effective quality control.
[doublepost=1480709158][/doublepost]I sent my 6s plus in for the same reason and apple replaced the battery and the logic board
Apple has posted a message on its Chinese website to address unexpected battery shutdowns affecting some iPhone 6s models, noting the issue is related to some batteries having been overexposed to "controlled ambient air" during the manufacturing process (via Business Insider).
Apple added that iPhones are designed to shut down automatically under certain conditions, such as extremely cold temperature. In this case, some iPhone 6s models are shutting down with around 30% battery percentage remaining to protect the device's internal components from low voltage.![]()
Apple said it has investigated other factors that could potentially cause an iPhone to shut down unexpectedly, but it has not identified any new factors. Nevertheless, the company said it will continue to monitor and analyze customer reports. Apple reiterated the battery issues are not a safety concern.
Apple launched a repair program earlier this month offering free battery replacements for affected iPhone 6s models. These devices fall within a limited serial number range manufactured between September 2015 and October 2015. Apple has since launched a tool to check if your serial number is affected.
Apple is also offering refunds to customers who previously paid to have their eligible iPhone 6s battery repaired or replaced. Apple recommends customers experiencing iPhone 6s battery issues visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact Apple Support.

The question is whether the issue is (a) battery life decreasing significantly or (b) more than X percent of phones experiencing a significant battery life decrease.
From the point of view of an affected user, it might look like exactly the same issue. But it only becomes a recall issue if the percentage of affected users breaches a certain (to some degree arbitrary) threshold. Imagine a situation where 1 in 100'000 iPhone 6 owners were affected in an about even spread. Then compare this with a situation in where also 1 in 100'000 iPhone 6 owners were affected, but 1 in 1000 of a particular battery batch were affected and outside of that batch only 1 in 1'000'000 were affected. In the former case, there would be no recall, in the latter there would be one, even though to the public the total number of affected iPhone 6 units would be exactly the same.
Rofl this has nothing to do with Cook.Cook has got to go....this is getting ridiculous.
Faster Shut Down on one batch of iPhones (mine is one of them) that does not affect safety VS EXPLODING Samsung batteries. Not the same thing at all. LmaoTo everyone that made fun of Samsung's exploding batteries;
What's good?
I worked for Apple for 14 years and your answer is very Apple speak. Ive seen it all in the many years there and it always starts off as customer is at fault to sporadic issues to internal oops we messed up but keep quiet to finally lets address it like we should have from the beginning. Its all about PR at this point.
Great, my iPhone 6S isn't eligible, but regularly shutdowns with 30% battery left![]()
no bro its a safety hazardFaster Shut Down on one batch of iPhones (mine is one of them) that does not affect safety VS EXPLODING Samsung batteries. Not the same thing at all. Lmao
Does it shut off on its own before you actually run out of your battery charge?How do I know if my iPhone 6S has the issue?

The 6s isnt the only phone affected by this issue. The 6s is the only one Apple has acknowledged so far. This issue is affecting all of their phones 6 and up.
Cook has got to go....this is getting ridiculous.
Heres the latest behind the scenes story of what really goes on in an Apple store. I still have plenty of friends that work at Apple and know the issue at hand is far reaching than the 6s theyve acknowledged. In time they will have to address all the phones affected from this issue. But knowing Apple, they wont until the very end and potential class action lawsuit or mainstream media gets in on it. Next year they will have toaddress all the phone have bad battery issues. Its a known cycle Apple has done and will continue to do until they are called out for trying to hide the issue.My comment/observations is really essentially any company and reality speak, given that's basically what things have been in reality for companies/industry for ages.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple...gRyZWdpb24DVVMEc3ltYm9sA0FBUEw-?.tsrc=applewfLet's face it, we will see the typical steps again.
1. Apple doesn't acknowledge the problem and charges you for fixing it.
2. Problem gets more attention.
3. Apple acknowledges the problem partly, but plays it down.
4. Somebody starts a class action lawsuit.
5. Media goes crazy.
6. Apple is forced to acknowledge the issue and starts a warranty program.
That's how it has been for years now.
Not having a battery that explodes?To everyone that made fun of Samsung's exploding batteries;
What's good?

You also seem to need to be in a cold weather environment. Which I think is why I haven't experienced random shut downs (no cold weather here) yet mine is eligible for the plan.I rarely take it down to single-digit percentage so I wouldn't know. I know it doesn't shut down randomly.
