5 Things to Know About the iPhone 6s
Firstly, it only affects a certain number of devices, as it was stated by Apple, the automatic shutdown of some iPhone 6s is just a small number of phones. Probably those manufactured between September and October 2015. But rumors reported that some devices manufactured in 2016 are experiencing this problem.

You can also find out in Google how to find your phone’s serial number.
Secondly, Apple also blames controlled ambient air for the issue. The phones that were affected by this problem are those with “a battery component that was exposed to controlled ambient air longer than it should have been before being assembled into battery packs.” This is the reason why these batteries degrade faster and push the device to shut down without notice. The third issue is that it’s not a safety issue, and don’t worry about anything, Apple said that its iPhone 6s are only shutting down and not exploding.
Fourth, Apple is working on the issue. The good news is that Apple might soon release a new software.
