I have a 6S from the original batch with the bad batteries. I never had it replaced because it worked fine (a coworker's most certainly did not), and it made a good excuse for a free replacement later down the line.
Now that it's finally acting up, I'm in waitlist hell because of the advent of the battery replacement program. I've been on the wait list for our local repair shop for about a month now, it's pretty crazy. They said they've had hundreds of people sign up.
- hb3b 9y agoI would hope that it gets done sooner than later. Had a 6S with a serial from a bad batch and sent it to Apple for repair/replacement. They refused to fix it citing "3rd party modifications" with no further explanation or evidence. It wasn't until I escalated the issue up 3 levels and provided photos of the phone in stellar condition at the time of shipping did they finally back down. The experience bothered me so much that I switched to Android. Your post made me realize that perhaps engineers are so overwhelmed with 6S repairs that they are just declining them.
