Ondrej Holzman In November, Apple launched two programs, one of which involved self-shutdown iPhone 6S. The California-based company has discovered that some iPhone 6S manufactured between September and October 2015 have battery problems, which it has decided to replace for free to affected users. However, as it turns out, the problem seems to affect a larger number of users than first thought.
Apple has since tracked down the cause of the faulty batteries. "We discovered that a small number of iPhone 6S manufactured in September and October 2015 contained battery parts that were exposed to controlled ambient air longer than they should have been before they were assembled into batteries," Apple explained. in a press release. It originally featured "very small number', but the question is whether it is relevant.
Furthermore, the iPhone manufacturer emphasized that "this is not a security problem" that could threaten, for example, the explosion of batteries, as in the case of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 phones. However, Apple admits that it has reports from other users who have iPhone 6S manufactured outside of the mentioned period and are also experiencing spontaneous shutdown of their devices.
Therefore, it is now not entirely clear which phones are actually affected by the problem. Although Apple offers on its website a tool where you can check your IMEI, whether you can get the battery replaced for free, but it is also planning an iOS update next week that will bring more diagnostic tools. Thanks to them, Apple will be able to better measure and evaluate the functioning of batteries.
Blaming "make a problem" is the buzzword of the day :-)
