What You experienced has happened w me w all phones. If you leave it say in your dash while using maps in a hot weather it will shut down due to extreme heat. But the big difference is that when is because of overheat it will give you that overheat warning while this current issue doesn't.
In my case it was not due to overheat. Normal summer weather, no direct sun exposure. The phone was a regular "metal-cool" to the touch and when I opened the camera app started to get unreasonably hot before it shut down. Even occured with during the first 2 pictures of the day in the morning. Also never received an overheat warning. Just like with the regular shutdowns there were no indications of a shutdown whatsoever.
Same here. Would be interesting to know if it is also worse when you use your camera?
[doublepost=1480729586][/doublepost]It good that there willing to replace the faulty batt, but , since Apple know who they sold the phone to they also have email addresses etc and could have contacted me for repair instead of compleatly relaying on the owner to scan the internet, there's thousands of folk who own a I phone but aren't that interested in following news on sites such as this , it's almost like if you don't contact us it's your problem ! They if possible should be contacting the owner of the phone if they have the details
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.

They replace the battery only. I had mine checked for the issue last week and was put in the queue for a replacement. Today I got an email and went back to the Apple Store and had it fixed. I was phoneless for two hours in total.
Did they erase the phone? Or did you, as Apple asks in the instructions? Seems ridiculous to erase a phone for a battery replacement. Then again, they did erase my MacBook Pro after a motherboard replacement.
His phone malfunctioned so he bought a new phone by the same company that produced the phone that malfunctioned?
