privilege, we reveal how you can add one to your
Mac’s display without paying a penny on page 106.
Sometimes to get your computer working
the way you want, you’ll need to use System
Preferences. Those new to Apple hardware may
not know what it is, while others may be unaware
of what it makes possible and how easy it is to
make tweaks and changes to the way your Mac is
set up. On page 31 we’ve the first of a three-part
series that covers the app in depth.
With Christmas just around the corner our
security tips will help keep your money, gadgets
and personal details safe (page 59). And if you
fancy some downtime over the holiday season, we
round up the best new Mac games on page 89.

Apple to replace
faulty iPhone 6s batteries
Apple says the problem has been discovered in
a few iPhone 6s smartphones.
Jon Ribeiro
reports
A
pple has revealed that a few iPhone 6s
smartphones are unexpectedly shutting
down, confirming a problem reported last
week by a Chinese consumer protection group.
The company said the problem is restricted to
a small number of phones within a limited serial
number range that were manufactured between
September and October last year.
Apple said that it was not a safety issue,
and appeared to suggest that
the problem would
be resolved by a
replacement battery
which the company
offered free. It did not
reveal how many iPhone
6s phones were affected
and in which markets.
The China Consumers
Association asked Apple
to investigate problems
with iPhone 6 and
6s phones that were
automatically shutting
off. The unexpected
shutdowns were said

to happen when the phone’s
battery charge dropped to
between 60- and 50 percent.
Apple’s wireless carrier
partners are not participating
in the battery replacement
program for the iPhone 6s, so
eligible users have to contact
Apple retail stores, authorized
service providers or technical
support. Users have been
advised to back up their data
to iTunes or iCloud, turn off
their ‘Find My iPhone’ facility,
and erase all content and
settings in preparation for
the battery change.
“If your iPhone 6s has any
damage such as a cracked
screen which impairs the
replacement of the battery, that
issue will need to be resolved prior to the battery
replacement. In some cases, there may be a cost
associated with the repair,” Apple revealed while
announcing the program.
Users who believe their iPhone 6s phones was
affected by the issue, and have already paid to
replace the battery, can contact Apple about a
refund at tinyurl.com/j46Lms3, the company said.
