iPhone 6 won't turn on!!!

I just bought my iPhone 6 today. I put it on charger and it was charging the whole time when it suddenly turned off and won't turn back on. What should I do? How did this happen?

iPhone 6, iOS 8

Mind just did the same! Thanks for the advice eventually got it back on........ I am convinced that Apple build in self destruct into the software of older phones, mine is coming up to 3 years old and is in perfect condition.

I got new I phone 6 silver as upgrade few months ago unfortunately the product was a damaged one. The front screen was not tightly attached to the bottom case. Apple exchanged me with the new product. It was working perfectly fine until I noticed that the device turned off automatically few days ago. The battery charge is consuming faster than ever. Now, It is turning off frequently and taking long time to restart. I don't know what is going on with the product. Really frustrating!!

I have an Iphone 6, two weeks old, almost no use. Battery fully charged, the phone was dead. By holding the power and home button together for 20 seconds I was able to start the phone finally. I have noticed that most of the post mention problems with the 64 gb phone. Is it related just to this model. Will there be a fix for this? Problem was first reported one year ago, and looks like it is still present in iOS 8.4. If it is hardware related, I would like to know so I can change it for another model (128 gb perhaps?).

Here's food for thought...


@cluisavila pointed out that many of the posts here mention having the 64Gb model. Last week, when I first upgraded from my iPh5, I got the iPh6+ 64Gb and it did the same power-off thing that my newly exchanged iPh6 64Gb is doing now. (I accidentally discovered holding the 2 buttons down to bail myself out last week.)


Come to think of it, the sudden power-off thing started happening on my iPh5, which prompted me to bite the bullet and go in to the AT&T store. Hmmm. Thinking out loud here, sorry!


Hope someone else can relate to my scenarios, then maybe someone that works for Apple could read these posts!


Cheers,

Paul
