Gloves and iPhone

Dear Apple,

I love my iPhone and I love wearing my gloves when it gets proper chilly cold here in the UK.

However, the two don't mix because I can't answer calls without taking my gloves off.

How about enabling triple click on the home button to answer calls??

P.S. I know there are gloves you can buy for iPhone, but I like my own gloves.

iPhone, iOS 4

There;s nobody here from Apple so you need to send them feedback directly - we are all just users like you.

You are not addressing Apple here but other users. You can post feedback to Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback

In the meantime - man up LOL. It isn't that cold yet - although snow is forecast for the weekend.

There are some winter gloves on the market that will work with the touch screen.

Maybe you could get a very small piece of anti static foam and stitch it to the finger tip of your glove? All you need is a tiny flat piece. You could buy a stylus a carefully remove the foam from the tip.

Apple is in Cupertino, CA - it's (seldom) cold enough to wear gloves.

Possible workarounds include

1) bluetooth headset or
2) wired headset

both with physical buttons to answer incoming calls.

Or there is always the "Vienna Sausage" solution. Finally, a stylus you can eat.

Now I like that suggestion - so much better than foam on a glove

Blue tooth is def an option for cold weather. But however there are a few makers who make gloves that are usuable with iPhone

I was hill walking in the Lake District yesterday (proper cold). I had gloves on, and I needed to answer my iPhone 4. Maybe not the best solution, but I can confirm that using the end of the nose allows you to slide to answer the call and also it works too for pressing the END button to end the call.
