Just weeks after Apple announced a so-called “repair program” for the iPhones affected by the Touch Disease, the Cupertino giant is back with another initiative, being called the 6S Replacement Program.
Some iPhone 6s devices were facing a battery issue whereby they would unexpectedly shut down. Apple has acknowledged the problem and said that it’s willing to repair the damaged phones. Thankfully, this time it is actually free of cost!
Apple announced the program on their service page titled iPhone 6s Program for Unexpected Shutdown Issues:
“Apple has determined that a very small number of iPhone 6s devices may unexpectedly shut down. This is not a safety issue and only affects devices within a limited serial number range that were manufactured between September and October 2015.”
NOTE: If you visit the page linked above, make sure you select India from the countries drop-down menu to get the relevant information.
As mentioned officially by Apple, the offer is available only for some of the devices. More specifically, for those manufactured between September and October 2015.
It’s not always possible for us to know when our device was manufactured. However, if you think your iPhone suffers from this problem then obviously, you should head to an Apple Store. And that’s the recommendation in the announcement as well.
“If you have experienced this issue, please visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider and have your device’s serial number checked to confirm eligibility for a battery replacement, free of charge.”
