iPhone 6s battery replacement in warranty!?!

[johnojohno]

Morning guys and gals.

So my battery on my phone which is just under a year old (in Apple warranty)is screwed. No doubt about it. Turns off consistently at all percentages. Won't charge/will charge. Chaos basically. The Apple Store is a fair distance from me. I was going to book an appointment at the Genius Bar.

It's not really the thing you can prove and I want i want to avoid being pushed away for a replacement.

Anyone know of strategic plans to do before hand to avoid such monstrosity?

Enter your serial number into here

This will tell you if your phone is eligible for battery replacement. If so, there will be no quibbles but (at least here in the UK) you need to book a slot, Apple then needs a week or so to order the battery in, then you need to leave your phone with them for about 3 hours for the actual replacement.

If your from a dodgy batch you can call Apple and diagnose over the phone. Saves the trip
