Apple To Swap Faulty iPhone 6S Batteries (bbc.com)

Posted by msmash on Monday November 21, 2016 @04:00AM from the fixing-errors dept.

Apple is offering to replace the batteries of a "small number" of iPhone 6S phones with a fault that makes them unexpectedly shut down. The phones with this fault were manufactured between September and October 2015, it said in a statement. From a report on BBC:Affected devices will suddenly stop working even though the handset's battery has plenty of charge. Anyone with an eligible phone who takes up the offer will get a free replacement battery for their handset. In its announcement, Apple urged customers who believe they have a faulty phone to contact an Apple store, an authorised repair shop or the firm's support line to start the process of getting a new battery. A "limited serial number range" was affected, it said.

The battery slowly swelled up and busted the case.
Did you take it to an Apple store or open a ticket on it? What did they tell you?
