That quote really hurts. My iPhone 6S has had spontaneous shutdowns since the first winter it was out (and is supposedly not in the replacement program). No previous Apple phones did. This winter it's the same. To me it suggests a more widespread defect that they do not wish to admit.

FYI - https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/ that was effected by a recall. You should check your serial number.

Like I said, it's not part of the replacement program.

Put in my number for fun, found out it is eligible for a replacement. Good things after 2 years a free new battery :).

So got my battery replaced today because of this thread. Feels very smooth again but may be between my ears. Only now realize I forgot to do a benchmark test with the old battery still in.

Glad it worked out.

Just got a brand new battery today after 2 years of usage thanks to your comment.

Thank you. You just saved me 80$ from paying to replace it myself.

Now I can justify to myself that it pays to read hacker news ;)

Why didn't you replace it the first winter you had it? Would have been free.

Had the same problem - they told me I‘d have to wait up to 8 weeks for them to return my phone. I instead chose to pay a local repair shop €50 to swap the battery within 30 minutes. For €80 they would have used an original Apple battery replacement.

This was happening to me, resetting it solved the problem.
