Apple iPhone 6s battery issue hits more phones than thought

Now, Apple is telling its customers in China that the problems with the battery affects more units than it thought. The tech titan said that a small number of iPhone 6s models "outside of the affected range" also experienced a battery related shutdown. While a shutdown is normal under certain extreme operating conditions (too hot, too cold, etc.) and is done to protect the components inside the phone, Apple plans on sending out a software update to garner more information about this problem. Another future update could be disseminated in order to fix the issue.
If your iPhone 6s is experiencing this problem, we would suggest taking it right away to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized repair shop. We'd skip checking to see if the serial number matches affected units because of Apple's comment about phones outside of the affected range experiencing the same problem. If your iPhone 6s battery life drops from 30% to 0% and then recovers to 30% when plugged in, we'd run to have it looked at immediately.

I think this is being blown out of proportion.

Just like you and the other Samsung fan base, right?

Deflection, five yard penalty. Especially since no one is more guilty of damage control than you are, as evident as this article:

But of course, you are deflecting from the issue at hand in order to take the spotlight of negativity off of Apple.

But you attack anyone who says anything about blackberry that you don't like. The link I posted is proof of that.

I shut down trolls like you. You don't like it because you want to be left to freely troll, and can't stand that I shut you down all of the time. Speaking of attacking someone:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Apple-sued-over-fast-charge-feature-on-Apple-iPhone-6s_id83122
That link proves that you attack anyone that says anything negative about Apple.

I'm not in denial. Learn to read next time. I didn't say the issue doesn't exist. I just said it's being blown out of proportion.

The denial is you thinking that it's blown out of proportion. If this were Samsung, you'd be screaming for them to be burned at the stake.

Hey, I'm typing on an iOS keyboard on my iPad Pro 9.7 inch. It probably detected that I'm saying something about an Apple Priest, and it's resisting my typing on it.

Just like Samsung fans would be doing the same. Honestly you have no room to talk.

So you're admitting that you troll Samsung because some Samsung fans troll Apple. How immature of you.

I see that Mxy's online masochism is still strong.

It's not blown out of proportion. My work phone is an iPhone 6s and has the problem.
It's a big deal and Apple needs to respond better.

Whatever hypocrite. If this were Google, Motorola, Samsung, etc, you'd be bitching about their lack of QC and it being a symptom of poor management. But when it's Apple, it's a non issue.
But tell me, do you agree with nctx77 that it's a non issue because it's his work phone?
