"avoid unexpected shutdowns on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, and iPhone SE[...]we recently extended the same support for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus"
They did not apply the change to the 5S.
- rajacombinator 9y agoThe change definitely didn’t fully solve the problem in the effected models either. (Can’t comment on if it was partially effective.) Recently had a sudden shutdown from 50%->0% on a 6S. It’s a decent response by Apple, although would have been better if they didn’t require a scandal to reduce their absurd markup on batteries.
- tigershark 9y agoMy wife just two days ago had a shutdown on a 6 at 45-50%
- scoot 9y agoThere's a free battery replacement "quality program" for that issue. [1] Also (unrelated, but will apply to many here), if you have a MacBook or MacBook Pro that the anti-glare coating has started to come off screen (typically around the edges), you can get a new screen for free.

(Apologies, couldn't find the Apple link.)
- tigershark 9y agoNo, the replacement program is for iPhone 6s, not iPhone 6.

- danbolt 9y agoI had the same issue with the 5S I'm typing on now, and replacing the battery a few months ago entirely solved that issue for me.
