Apple has issued a statement in response to fresh complaints of overheating issues with the iPhone 6
Apple has responded to fresh complaints about overheating issues with the iPhone 6.
In the days following the revelation of battery performance issues with the iPhone 6S, Apple has addressed eight reports from iPhone 6 users whose devices reportedly fire spontaneously. The reports originate from a Chinese consumer group believed to be loosely affiliated with the government.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Shanghai’s Consumer Council was the group behind the third battery-related complaint made to Apple in China.
The previous two complaints concern the hardware issue that causes iPhones to spontaneously shutdown – even when there is plenty of the juice left in the tank.
Apple has previously admitted that a limited number of iPhone 6S models have this battery deficiency, with the problems limited to those phones manufactured between September and October 2015.

It has subsequently launched a free repair and replacement program for affected devices, as well as a serial number checking tool that allows iPhone owners to check whether their phone suffers with the problem.
However it has dismissed the reports that iPhones are spontaneously catching fire.
The company stated that it analysed the affected iPhone units and determined the fires were caused by “external physical damage.”
Apple instructed any customers experiencing problems with their iPhones to visit a brick-and-mortar Apple Store or contact company support.
"We appreciate that customers are more concerned than ever about the performance and safety of batteries in their mobile devices," the spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal.
iPhone 7 – In Pictures
Tue, September 13, 2016
The iPhone 7 is, without doubt, the best smartphone Apple has ever created. It is fast, incredibly powerful, has a much-improved camera and is now water resistant. However, it’s a shame there’s not more innovation with this two-year-old design

Back in October, a number of unsubstantiated reports emerged from China describing an iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 6 Plus catching fire.
Chinese media reported an iPhone 7 exploded while the owner was using the smartphone to record a video.
According to unconfirmed reports from GizmoChina, the way the man was holding the iPhone allowed flying glass from the screen to hurt his face.
The rumours emerged following the disastrous battery issues that affected Apple's main rival, Samsung.

Samsung discounted its phone after replacement devices started to catch fire
The South Korean firm decided to discontinue its all-new Galaxy Note 7 following reports that replacement devices issued in the South Korean firm's worst ever recall are now exploding.
In a statement, the company told customers "with either an original Galaxy Note 7 or replacement Galaxy Note 7 device should power down and stop using the device."
Samsung had previously assured the public it had identified and resolved the problem with the batteries that affected one Galaxy Note 7 is every 42,000 units.
However, more reports of replacement devices deemed safe by the technology firm bursting into flames have emerged in the last few days.

These fires suggest Samsung has failed to fix a problem that has already hurt its brand and threatens to derail a recovery in its mobile business.
Despite the issues, the company appears to be forging forward with its smartphone plans.
Rumours emerged today about an all-new bezel-less design for the upcoming Galaxy S8, due to hit stores in February 2017.
Every lithium-ion battery-powered device has a theoretical risk of explosion, and overheating issues occur very infrequently with most devices.
