Apple really is no stranger to mishaps when it comes to their hardware. We all remember the major problem they had with the iPhone 4 and its antenna flaw. It seems that another mishap has been confirmed and this time it is to do with their new flagship the iPhone 5s. Speaking to the New York Times, Apple spokesperson Teresa Brewer confirmed that the company has identified a small number of iPhone 5s handsets that may suffer from a defective battery. This means that their phones will take longer than normal to charge or have a shorter battery life that normal.
She went on to say that they recently discovered a manufacturing issue affecting a very limited number of iPhone 5s devices that could cause the battery to take longer to charge or result in reduced battery life. Apple are reaching out to customers with affected phones and will provide them with a replacement phone.
Apple hasn't confirmed just how many of these handsets are affected, but they did say that it is in the thousands which isn't surprising considering 9 million iPhones were sold just over the 5s and 5c opening weekend. Apple will be contacting those affected and offering replacement handsets in exchange for the faulty ones. If the numbers are as small as Apple says though, the chances of the iPhone 5s you have in your pocket being faulty is rather small.
If you are experiencing problems with your iPhone 5s battery, we do recommend that you contact Apple and let them know.
