The Californian company said that only a "very small number" of devices are affected, and which were manufactured between September and October 2015.

It recommends anyone who has seen the issue to take their phone to an Apple Store to get it checked out.

If you've got an iPhone 6s, and you're now worried that it might explode, Samsung-style - don't worry. It's not a "safety issue," according to Apple. All that happens to affected phones is they unexpectedly shut down.

"Apple has determined that a very small number of iPhone 6s devices may unexpectedly shut down. This is not a safety issue and only affects devices within a limited serial number range that were manufactured between September and October 2015," the company said in a statement on its website.
