When the air is cold, or when I'm cold, the iPhone touch screen loses sensitivity.
As the marketplace ages, this issue will be come more important for customers buying for their children and grandchildren.
When will Apple provide a temperature-specific touchscreen sensitivity adjustment?
Thanks for all direction.
All capacitive touch screens work less well if your fingers are cold. So, until a better technology comes along, wear gloves when it gets cold. They make them with fingertips designed to work with touch screens.

I have no idea what this has to do with touch screens and temperatures. . I'm not aware that "children and grandchildren" get colder or have colder fingertips.
You can also submit your feedback to Apple here:
Ambient temp in my IT room is 72-75 degrees. The iPad's touchscreen, and those of other devices, work fine when the iPhone doesn't.
Better technology exists in devices older than the iPhone 5; as an example, the multi-function Ricoh printer ten feet outside my office has a touchscreen with adjustable sensitivity.
As an FYI, despite gradual loss of blood circulation, older people gain and maintain a lot of buying power, whose benefits are often reaped by their warmer-fingered progeny. Apple will benefit from acknowledging these truths.
Stultified by limited touchscreen design
