I'm curious if smartphones other than iPhone have problems being out in the cold.
I wear my iPhone on a belt clip "holster". My phone can have 80% charge, but If I'm out in 5F degree temps for more than about 5-10 minutes (like to fuel a truck or a thorough PTI), I'll look at it and it'll indicate it's about to shut off due to low battery. Warm it up inside the truck for while, and it's back to about where it was.
Is this just an iPhone phenomena or is this common with other devices, as well? Or is it just mine? It is about 3 years old. (an older 5s) At this rate, it would be less than useless if there were to be some sort of breakdown in very cold temps.
But there seems to be a point where this does not occur to the extreme as it does at +5f ... maybe 25 degrees I do not notice this "instant kill" phenomena but somewhere between about 25 and 5, there is a point where it pretty much quits working altogether.
