I have had my iPhone 6S 128gb running iOS 9.0.1 for less than two weeks. It has randomly shut down three different times since I received the phone. All the shut downs have occurred with 40% or more battery life remaining. I took the phone to the Apple store and they claim there is nothing wrong with it and that the issue is a result of not fully charging the iPhone battery and then letting it drain to 0%. Since doing that process, my phone has shut down twice more.


I just reset the phone to factory setting and upgraded to the iOS 9.0.2 this morning. Hopefully, that will fix the issue.

Ditto. Woke this morning to find that my iPhone 6s was bricked even though it was charging overnight. It was 70 percent charged when I plugged it in. Pressing the power button did nothing. However, the phone responded after I held the home button and power button together for many seconds.


I’m running the latest iOS beta version.

Same issue here... Two hours late to work last Friday because it shut off overnight and my alarm didn't go off in the morning. Happened again Sunday morning. I have had every incarnation of the iPhone at this point, and never had to worry about this... Now I am afraid to rely on my phone for important things that I have always used it for.


Running 3rd public 9.1 beta on 64 gb iPhone 6s Plus setup from an iCloud Backup. It was plugged in overnight while I was asleep... Not even touching the phone when it shut down.

Happened to my newest iphone 6s plus 128 gb gold 4x times. Disappointed. Using 9.1beta3. Home button (TouchID) isn't hot during shutdown. But phone is dead and doesn't mean how much %% of battery is remaining still. Apple, do something or it will be my last iPhone... 😠 Huge problem to have a phone $1000 priced and such "child" unresolved bug

I've an iPhone 6s 128GB since day one and I never experienced this issue yet personally. I wonder if that the fact there are two different makers for the A9 SoC (Samsung and TSMC), may be in relation with this issue.


Indeed, mine is using a TSMC made Apple A9 chip, I checked this with this app: http://demo.hiraku.tw/CPUIdentifier/


I wonder if this issue in not related with the maker of the A9, and so that if it only occurs on Samsung made Apple A9 (as mine is a TSMC made one and didn't show this issue yet).

So i you experience this issue, can you check the maker of the A9 chip for your phone using the CPUIdentifier app, so we can see if it happens whatever Apple A9 maker is involved, or if it happens only on a specific Apple A9 maker (i.e: Samsung or TSMC).
