Cold weather is brutal on phone batteries. I've experienced shutdown problems with every generation of iPhone up through the 7 when taken out in very cold weather on the mountain (sub 20 Fahrenheit with wind).
I always attributed it to an unintended side effect of the case itself being used as a heat sink. Battery gets very cold very fast and loses peak voltage. Would be interested to hear if there's a more accurate explanation.
