| ![]() So, Finally apple acknowledged the random shutdown problem in iPhone 6S and has offered battery replacement to the affected Serial numbers from the batch manufactured between September and October 2015. I noticed this problem in my iPhone 6S from last 2 months but it has happened 2-3 times only. I checked with service center and my serial number falls in that batch. My battery can be replaced but phone needs to be sent to Bangalore. this complete process will take about 1 week. I am afraid to give it for replacement as there are reports online that when they repair one thing, something else might get broken. As this issue is not serious, I am thinking of skipping battery replacement. |

Phone slipped out of my hand twice before and fell on ground. Both times in past also was at airports but, those instances it fell on smooth ground inside airport premises and both times nothing happened This time it fell in the parking lot of airport where the ground was uneven and due to which glass broke even after having tempered glass installed Looks like airports are jinxed for me ![]() ![]() | |

My phone has not exhibited any hissing sound, for what it's worth. | |

| ![]() I am facing iPhone 6 sudden shutdown with battery level more than 40% at times. It goes blank and then shows charger sign telling me battery has drained. It does not give me a warning before going down. Some online forums say it is my battery charging habit of leaving it on charger beyond full charge. Anyone else facing this issue? Is this new random shutdown in precious posts not applicable to iPhone 6? |

| ![]() Don't leave your battery overcharged, don't use third party cheap made in china cables to charge your phone, don't drain the battery to 0 repeatedly .. so many possible reasons for any modern smartphone. The battery generally won't charge further when it is at full charge but still .. |

Apple finally decided to acknowledge the problem and offered a replacement device. It involved a lot of going back and forth but eventually it worked out. However, the hissing noise is also present in the replacement device although it is considerably less. Since it is not picked up while recording videos as prominently as it did in the earlier device, I will live with it. Cheers. | |

The iphone 7 plus off late is not readily available even in the US. I tried here in Texas but in vain. I even called the i store back in India and got the same answer- not available. Can't understand the reason, maybe apple is rectifying the niggles. Last edited by rakesh_r : 22nd November 2016 at 20:25. | ||

With Li ion battery always charge up when the % goes below 80% if you can, also avoid complete discharge on a regular basis. But doing it once a month or so helps recalibrate the battery readings. Quote:

| ![]() Got a 7 Plus 128gigs a week back to accompany my 6s and SE. No hissing sound issues noticed so far and battery life has been terribly amazing compared to 6s. One handed use is possible if you have big hands, but it will still be difficult. ![]() |

![]() I tried to see if my own Lumia 920, which seemingly came with High Amplitude Audio Capture (HAAC) mics, recorded anything in a silent environment and found that even when the surroundings were dead silent late in the night, the mic was picking up lot of noise. So my question is was the hissing sound really distinguishable when you recorded any video in a normal environment like a room or outside ? It will be really helpful if you could share any sample. It worries me how i'm trying to find excuses to justify the purchase rather than go with another product. ![]() | |

It is always good to be informed. Knowing about this issue and how apple was tackling it worldwide is basically what gave me leeway to negotiate a replacement with apple India. Unfortunately I do not have the video on me anymore. I had shot the video at the apple service center itself (in one of their discussion rooms) and the ticking noise was picked up by the microphone on the back. This video was later forwarded by the service center to the apple India office in Bangalore (?). Later when I was on a call with their Bangalore office, they also acknowledged the issue and eventually offered a replacement. Other than this hissing issue, it is a fantastic phone. Be rest assured and go ahead with your purchase. Best, Enigmatic | |
