I took my iPhone 6 in today for a battery replacement (purchased on release day 2014.)
Went back in two hours, had to wait an additional hour or so. No big deal, that's what the bar next door is for.
Went back a third time, ended up waiting five minutes because there was some issue with my repair. The girl comes out and says my old phone won't turn on after the battery replacement. Their solution was to replace my old phone with a brand new (not a refurb) iPhone 6.
My old phone had a missing camera lens, a non-functional touch ID, a third-party replacement screen, a non-working headphone jack, and a non-functioning earpiece.
Will I buy another Apple product when the time comes? You bet.
Hats off to Apple

My iphone 6s was part of a "customer satisfaction" campaign (not a recall, but Id say one by any other name), and they handled it fast, efficient and very easily. I was most pleased.
I like how they purposely slow down older phones so you have to buy a new one...then get caught and pretend to be good corp citizens.

On a serious note, I keep telling people with older iPhones to take advantage of this great opportunity pronto. It's good to see Apple correcting the problem.I like their customer service, most of the times

I've also never had any problems with my Androids.
Will I buy another Android again?
You bet!
Windows for work, Apple for play.

I believe the iPhone 6 is still an incredible phone. I was given mine when they first came out and the battery has slowly declined but still lasts all day. According to Apple, they will soon issue an update which will include info on battery health, ie, a built in APP on the batterys condition.
I have a 5S and two 5s. The 5S and one of the 5s need new batteries but Apple won't give me a break on replacement batteries. Oh well. I keep them charging when in my car, or home. When on battery alone, battery power goes fast.
Some day, I may buy an SE. Don't want anything bigger. (Rumor has it that Apple may bring out an updated "smaller" iPhone, same size as present SE for those of us who don't want the larger 6 or 7 or 8 or X size). (Of course, we can believe all Apple rumors < grin>).

You must've had "Apple Care" I'm assuming.

Id rather have no problems but good on them that they did that for you. Sounds like you have alot of issues with your iphone 6. My Note 5 still no issues experienced. Hope it stays that way since i dont want to buy another phone anytime soon.
