Abu Dhabi: UAE's Ministry of Economy has launched a campaign to recall 88,700 iPhone 6s devices due to a fault in the battery, according to a report in Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm.
The recall is being carried out in cooperation with Apple, after the California-based electronics giant informed the ministry that a certain line of iPhone 6s devices manufactured in China during the September-October 2015 period contains a battery flaw that can make the phone shut down unexpectedly.
Dr Hashim Al Nuaimi, Director of the Consumer Protection Department at the ministry, said, "In order for users to determine whether the battery needs to be replaced, customers can visit a customer service centre or use the following link: https://www.apple.com/ae/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/
Al Nuaimi pointed out that the recall process, carried out in cooperation and coordination between the ministry and Apple, is for the purpose of determining the cause of errors, and not for matters concerning safety.
