Apple will replace the batteries on its iPhone 6S free of charge after discovering a fault with the 2015 top-end smartphone. The company has started a free repair programme for iPhone 6S smartphones manufactured between September and October 2015. Apple said in a support document published on Sunday: “Apple has determined that a very small number of iPhone 6s devices may unexpectedly shut down. In some cases, there may be a cost associated with the repair.”Checking whether your iPhone 6S is eligible for the free repair requires a trip to an Apple store or authorised service centre. Apple is also offering refunds for those who have already paid to replace their batteries for the same issue.
