Apple Offers Free iPhone 6s Battery Replacement

Apple is offering a free battery replacement for iPhone 6S handsets that have power issues.

On Sunday, the tech giant launched a support program after reports that some iPhone 6S handsets would spontaneously shut down, even when the battery is charged, and only turn back on when plugged in.

"This is not a safety issue and only affects devices within a limited serial number range that were manufactured between September and October 2015," reads the support page. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The safety of phones is likely on the mind of many consumers after Samsung had to recall its Galaxy Note 7 twice this year due to overheating batteries causing fires and explosions.

If you believe your device is effected, you can contact Apple online or visit an Apple store to find out if it's eligible for a free battery replacement.
