- napoleond 10y agoYour account sounds different from what GP describes (ie. descending from full charge in a few minutes, without any activity). I live an a region that regularly stays below 0F for months on end and have never seen or experienced such extremely accelerated loss of charge. However, I have certainly seen phones lose charge more quickly once they get below 50% or so--I never correlated that with the cold, but maybe there is a connection.

- arprocter 10y agoI wonder if we have different phones? Mine is a regular iPhone 6
- Klinky 10y agoTheses reports seem pretty anecdotal. Is there some hard evidence or an official spec? Seems like a bunch of people with glitchy phones or batteries blaming the weather.
- arprocter 10y agoIt has only happened once, but I doubt the phone is faulty - it instantly went from a charge in the 40% range to a 'plug in now' screen, eventually returning to normal with the same amount of charge once I got out of the cold. Could be that different phone models behave differently in low temperatures?
