Apple Launches Repair Program for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus Over Power Issues
Apple today launched a new repair program for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus devices that may fail to power on due to a faulty component. Affected devices were sold between October 2018 and August 2019, and users can check their serial numbers on Apple's support site to see if their devices are part of the affected batches.
Customers with an eligible iPhone model can have their device repaired free of charge by Apple or at an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Affected customers can contact Apple support for a mail-in repair, visit an AASP, or visit an Apple retail store.
Affected devices are covered for two years from the date of first retail sale of the unit. Repairs may be limited to the original country or region of purchase.

This only applies to devices made between Oct 2018 to Aug 2019. So it’s literally impossible for this issue to be present on iPhone 6S models over the last 4 years.

This issue is about iPhones that won’t turn on. It’s not about iPhones that shut off unexpectedly. Apple has also stated it applies to a very specific serial number range. This is typically done (with all companies, not just Apple) when a manufacturer discovers a faulty batch of parts from a supplier or an improperly installed part due to an issue during assembly. Otherwise how could they determine it only affected devices within a certain serial number range?
