Apple offered the service centers to temporarily change the iPhone 6 Plus to 6s Plus in full repair
Apple sent to the authorized service centers a letter with recommendations for handling the iPhone 6 Plus, which need repair with a full replacement of the device. These phones can be changed to a newer iPhone 6s Plus, writes Macrumors.
The message does not specify which models, with what damages and in which countries can be replaced with an updated version of the iPhone. Apple clarified that the iPhone 6 Plus is no longer being produced - apparently, the company will take time to resume the production of components, the publication suggests. Apple's recommendation is valid until March 2018.
The proposal concerns only those cases when the service centers can not repair the device, but give the client a new device. Source Macrumors explained that authorized service centers can replace the display iPhone, battery, speakers, rear camera and vibration motor, while other damages usually require replacement of the entire device.
