ByA couple of months ago, Apple Inc. acknowledged that a number of iPhone users were experiencing unexpected shutdowns. The shutdown issue primarily affects the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, as well as iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Nonetheless, the tech giant claims that updating to the latest version of iOS, which is iOS 10.2.1, could ward off random battery shutdowns.

The iOS 10.2.1 had fixed 80 percent of the issues for iPhone 6S devices and 70 percent for iPhone 6, according to Tech Crunch. The tech company claims that iOS 10.2.1 update has been installed on about half of all compatible Apple devices, so if a person have one of the affected handsets and noticed the issues, it is recommended to fire up the update now.

The tech giant noted that the unexpected shutdowns are not a safety issue. Nevertheless, they understand it can be an inconvenience for users and they wanted to fix the issue as soon as possible.
