Not the most confidence inspiring return to the world of apple.
Had my iPhone 6 for three weeks.
Had no problems in any regard with it apart from a random "this accessory may not be supported" from three official apple chargers.
However this morning it all went wrong.
Disconnected from the charger and the battery fell to 98% after about an hour.
This isn't unusual as most of you will probably know.
However after three hours of pretty heavy usage, imagine my surprise that the battery is still at 98%.
This is unusual so I decide to restart the phone.
Cue endless reboot loop.
It reboots to the lock screen, no clock, battery now at 55% and swipe for emergency call only. It's picked up my sim card and registered a 4g connection.
When swiping to unlock and enter my pin, immediately resets to the lock screen.
It then reboots and repeats the above.
I then tried to plug it to my laptop and connect through iTunes to try to restore a backup. iTunes doesn't pick up the phone as it cannot stay on for more than a few seconds.
Tried a hard reset a few times by holding home button and on/off button, but no joy there either.
Eventually it displayed a progress bar and I thought that this was a good sign.
But this has now resulted in "the temperature of the iPhone is too high to use" message and now it is stuck on that.
It won't charge, iTunes can see it for a few seconds before it disconnects.
Been to the local apple store who couldn't see me tonight so I've got to go back and queue when it opens to hopefully get a replacement handset as its my work phone.
Fingers crossed.
