Thanks It worked 🙂
My crazy iPhone 6 Plus keeps shutting off by itself at least 5 o 6 times per day … fortunately this has been happening only recently in the last 2 days. Although today it got so bad that nothing I tried could bring it back to live. Reading several blogs I realised that, as many suggest, it could be about a faulty battery connection or the battery dislodging from its original position. So out of desperation I decided to firmly slap the back of the iPhone on my thigh for a couple of times and … the phone worked again! So, if you are experiencing something similar is worthy trying moving the battery into place by whatever means you deem appropriate. Best of luck this is a very annoying fault!
My apple 6s iphone suddenly shut down. When i turn on it, an error massege coming as connect iTune and again shut down the phone. How i turn on my phone. Pls help.
tried every fix recommended to sort the problem but still the phone just turns off even if there is a changed new battery
iPhone keeps rebooting and shutting down by itself could be caused by iOS bugs, software crashed, or hardware problems.
RecoveryTool Fix Recovery may help.
Im having the same problem with iphone 6 it shuts down suddenly even when its still have 90% battery. Plus when i get an incoming calls or tex messages the ring tone does’nt work anymore, i checked the settings for sounds everything is on but still not working. I have my iphone for about 2 years now and its not cover for warranty anymore and in this forum seems to have so many complainants with the same issue with their iphone, i wonder if apple company would compensate the consumers in this matter.
tried every fix recommended to sort the problem but still the phone just turns off ,
apple are a disgrace as it is a software /battery problem
I also facing same issue, can somebody advice?
my iphone 6splus goes to the same shut down mode but only when you press the notes icon tried everything except ios update. What a piece of junk, iphone 5 has been chugging along for years!!
Mine just started doing it with full charge. Frustrating
Started having this issue with my 6S this morning. The phone was purchased just about 2 years ago. I just completed the software update and it seems to be okay (for now) as it has not cut off in the last five minutes…
Mine started it today!!!! Must be something cause it is several people!
mine I phone 6 plus happened this morning too. any idea how to fix it?
hi my phone is having the same problem it shuts down just like that and wont come on
This is super annoying…my iphone 6 plus is doing it with 96% charge, it doesn’t even give me a minute to delete the apps before its off and on again but I am now doing all I can including updating the latest software coz rebooting never worked…but I think its battery issue. I think I will have to change the battery anyway. Apple store, this is really bad especially after spending so much money.
Mine is doing the same today. Deleted apps but still doing it. Same day as you. I wonder if some software updated overnight.
hi how can fix this kind of scenario? it is possible po ba na maayos pa rin. may naka lagay po kasi saakin na phone not backed up. nag on off yong iphone 6 plus ko thnx
Mine is doing the same. And the same day as yours. Coincidence?

Guys, you have this article as well.
This is a bullshit phone. I wish I-phone companies get a fire and have tremendous loss.
Thank you so much. The first suggestion worked for me for iphone 6 plus. But, it’s totally annoying when the phone shuts down abruptly.
You’re welcome! 🙂 Oh, it sure is.
This happened to my iPhone 6 plus after I updated it…beware.
The only way I could get it to turn back on is to connect it to iTunes
This happened to my iPhone 6 plus after I updated it…beware
I have an iPhone 6 that shut off and would not turn back on. I tried Fix 1, the Hard Set. It has worked so far.
Recently purchased an iPhone 6 Which has just died as of yesterday evening! Tried rebooting but no go..just keeps returning to an iTunes icon with an arrow beneath it. Pressing, swiping does nothing. I’ll be looking for a refund tomorrow!
My I phone gets gets switched off frequeltly before battery dry’s fully. Is there any solution dose anybody solution for it
facing the same issue with my iPhone 6s. Please share if anyone got any solution to this.
Had this problem for months and went to Apple Store three times.
They finally agreed to replace my battery free of charge and it’s worked perfectly ever since.
Yep mine shuts down at anywhere between 75% and 53% and will not restart untill the phone is plugged into a charger, then within seconds boots back up and read the same battery % as when it shut down. APPLE – you need to support your buyers of iphones!! buying a 64Gb iphone 6 just over a year ago spending over $700 and having these types of issues is very poor, its either a software bug or battery monitoring hardware, personally i think a software fix could resolve it. I wish it would catch fire, at least it would get on the news media and you ‘APPLE’ would have to address it.
In which iOS you are facing this issue?
So, in other words no one has been able to come up with a solution to this issue of the phone randomly “dying” …. I feel like screaming now…,
Nothing works… they just want you to keep buying iPhones everytime a new one comes out…
That is correct! Planned obsolescence–they need people to buy a new phone every year or two. Why make a quality product that lasts? Tim Cook and Co need their cash cow. They could have made the iPhone X back in 2015 but they only make small incremental improvements to the phone because they are assholes who can’t really innovate. It is time for a new fruit.
yea, that’s what I’ve been thinking, they have it timed perfectly soon as you paid off your phone they give you problems to buy another one.
SAME THING is happening to me since update to iOS 10…
Will going to the Apple Store do any good?
I went to the Apple store, all they did was a software update. Didn’t work (phone was still shutting off randomly) so they told me to do a factory reset via iTunes. Just did it, so we’ll see how it goes. If the problem still isn’t fixed, apparently I should call AppleCare.
did it work?
This happens all the time to my iPhone 6, tried reset to factory settings, draining the battery, deleting all apps. Even went to Apple Store,they say it’s a software problem. Updated to new iOS 10.1 but nothing has worked. So annoying seeing it was the iOS 10 update that caused it. Come on apple, own up that’s there’s an issue and get your finger out!
I think Apple needs to do a recall on the iPhone 6 battery. Mine randomly goes off even at 45-50%. Just dies. Started happening all of a sudden. I’m so angry.
Yes Tasha after operating system 10.0 was installed it started happening. I have tried everything except reinstall from iTunes and a new battery.
Apple did say my Diagnistic test said the battery was fine.
Apple we need new batteries!
I have the same problem.
Have you found a fix yet?
My IPhone 6 just goes off when it’s 100%, and charges in 5 minutes even didn’t take long am using it now for 21 days only.
didnt help. still shuts off randomly even if i have up to 30% battery
Upgrade th IOS??? the upgrade caused it! Drain the battery…can’t it sets off around 50-60 %. Useless advice.
same here
That’s probably why your batteries draining jailbreaks are a piece of s#@t
Lol no. I fixed it with one of the methods. And no it is smart to update. I love my custom font and ios6 theme and gif background you can’t get from a non jailbreak phone
I lose my jailbreak if I update
That’s probably why your batteries draining
jailbreaks are a piece of s#@t
Lol no. I fixed it with one of the methods. And no it is smart to update. I love my custom font and ios6 theme and gif background you can’t get from a non jailbreak phone
