South Korea would be the second country to investigate iPhone 6S battery problems defects that generate sudden closures of the terminals. China was the first country where there was an official investigation by the authorities, and South Korea could be the second where such an investigation could take place soon.
The representatives of a government agency in South Korea stated that they are currently analyzing the possible launch of an investigation regarding the iPhone 6S problems. The fear of the authorities is that the terminal might have batteries that explode during use, as happened with the Galaxy Note 7, but this is, of course, only an exaggeration.
If the iPhone 6S had the same problems as the Galaxy Note 7, this would have been visible since the fall of last year, not a year after the official launch. In this sense, it is unlikely that the authorities will start any such investigation, although they are monitoring Apple's response and how customer problems are resolved.
Apple admitted last weeks that the iPhone 6S terminals manufactured in September and October 2015 have defective batteries that generate random shutdowns of the terminals. Apple replaces all these batteries free of charge in its services and those of its partners, and the problem is completely and permanently solved for the affected customers.
"South Korea's industrial standardization bureau said Wednesday it is mulling over an investigation into Apple Inc.'s iPhone handsets, which randomly shut down despite battery remaining. The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) said it is looking into the matter as the iPhone 6S battery problem could potentially be a safety issue, like Galaxy Note 7 smartphones."
