- walrus01 10y agoSkeptical POV: With modern LTE phones, the farther you are from the sector you're connected to, the higher the Tx power will be. Therefore more battery draining. You can easily experience this yourself in Oregon when on the edge of t-mobile service in rural areas farther away from I-5. Transmit timeouts and retransmission will also eat up battery life. Also, li ion batteries do not like -10C weather, so unless you keep a phone in an interior coat pocket against your chest, battery life will be greatly reduced. Physics of batteries, not malicious action.
