Last week, Apple launched a repair program after acknowledging the Apple iPhone 6 Plus had a touchscreen issue widely dubbed as 'Touch Disease'. The program is not well-received as Apple blamed users instead of acknowledging that there is a design fault on the phone.
Because of that, the repair will cost Apple iPhone 6 Plus owners US$149. Now we have a second repair program underway, only this one is for the Apple iPhone 6s.
A small batch of Apple iPhone 6s handsets manufactured between September and October 2015 have a battery issue. There's no threat of injury or device damage, but it may unexpectedly shut down. The battery is at fault and Apple will happily replace it for you for free.
For those experiencing the unexpected shut downs, take the problematic Apple iPhone 6s to an Apple retail store or an authorised Apple service provider. The serial number of the device will be checked to verify it is carrying one of the faulty batteries. If it is, expect a replacement to be fitted to solve the issue.
Before taking it in to be checked, Apple recommends backing up the data to Apple iTunes or iCloud, turning off the 'Find my iPhone' feature, and erasing data and settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
There are two ways this 'free repair' could end up costing money. If the APple iPhone 6s is experiencing the shut down problem and is not eligible for the repair program, users are, likely, expected to pay for the fix. Also, if the smartphone has another issue that interfere with a battery replacement, for example, the screen is cracked, Apple won't replace the battery unless you agree to have that fault repaired as well, which won't be free.
