Barely a week after the iPhone 6S was released on Sept. 25, it seems that Apple might have another "Bendgate" type of problem on its hands.
9to5Mac reports that several early iPhone 6S users are complaining of Touch ID buttons that are too hot to touch. The discussions and posts of the complaints could be found in Apple Support forums and tweets, raising the possibility of a "Hotgate" problem for the Cupertino-based tech giant.
Consumers who turned on their iPhone 6S noticed a black display and felt heat on the Touch ID/Home button. While it could be solved by holding the home and lock buttons for 10 seconds and resetting the phone, owners of the unit are not happy with the situation, reports Mashable.
Jonnie Hallman tweeted that his unit shut off even if it has 50 percent battery. Michael Schultz's iPhone 6S turned off and won't turn on. In addition to what Schultz experienced, JAY-KWA-LIN tweeted that his device would not even charge.
Mashable has not received a response from Apple about the matter, while an Apple Support representative told a user it was the first time he heard of the problem of hot Touch ID buttons.
Other bugs reported by new iPhone 6S owners include Safari not opening as normal when normal taps on web links are used and poor sound quality of the phones internal speaker.
However, for those who did not pre-order the iPhone 6S or iPhone 6S Plus, their concern is the wait times. At Verizon, wait times for the iPhone 6S Plus with larger storage and popular color options could be up to five weeks, while at AT&T it could be as long as six weeks, reports TechTimes.
