support.apple.comSo this is funny
This issue only affects devices within a limited serial number range that were manufactured between October 2018 to August 2019.
This issue affects ALL THE IPHONES no matter when they were manufactured. And btw who the hell bought iPhone 6s from apple in last two years ???

Yeah it seems really weird how they are only giving warranty for phones manufactured in the last year. I thought they basically stopped production when the 8 came out but guess not. I do wonder if it's for Tristar that they are warrantying or what went wrong this time.

I do not consider myself skilled technician because there is always something to learn. But we can go through the power circuit.
Tristar and Tigris is start pretty common issue after it could be PMIC(but its never PMIC right :D). I could only thing that they try some new revision on these chip and they are faulty. What else could go wrong. Flex based damage affect chip around that would mean short or software update is not able to read chip and get stuck in DFU mode.
I do not know what is actually on these phone wrong but I haven't seen anything special so far. I will not be stressed about that

I don't do level 3 still trying to figure out how to learn but yeah maybe they had a bad Tristar batch and that's why they're recalling them. Never know until someone finds out lol.

It is actually easier than you thing. You should have some idea how to read schematic and practice a lot soldering. And you can start with £100 hot air and soldering set. I know lot of people will complain how you f.... yourself but I think is good start to actually take care about more thing in one action. How to use hot air gun and don't reheat other component (these cheap station are really cheeky) how to take care about iron tip and many other things. Once you will be sure what are you doing and understand process you should move to better station which help you a lot.
Luis Rossmann have really good learning material about basic electron how components work(powerpoint presentation I believe it have around 200 slides). Also step by step explaining how different electronic circuits work. I know examples are MacBooks but the theory is applicable for all electronic devices.
Well soldering you should practise on broken board find out what is good temperature for you angle and things like that for hot air and solder with soldering iron is straightforward. On youtube you can find some basic about that but still you need to find your way.
I am not the best technician but feel free to ask anytime you want.
Best of luck in your personal training

Huh, interesting

Apple is actually funny in this in general. How long it took to start service programs for touch ic, audio ic and BBPMU on iPhone 7. They must know by the numbers of defective devices. They just play stupid and start program when these phone are in the end of the life cycle.

Tristar?
Almost certainly, I had one replaced for $50 a whole back as I can't do board work myself. Fired right back up after being completely dead.
