I too had an older model iPhone (with an aging battery) that would shut off when exposed to cold temps. I would have much rather had the software automatically govern draw on the battery because trying to hail an uber at 3am in the freezing cold and having your phone randomly shut off isn't fun. I cannot get behind the criticism of Apple on this specific issue. I think they were doing the right thing and I think adding a software option to allow the user to disable the governor algorithm (for lack of a better term) is akin to giving the user enough rope to hang themselves with.
