iPhone 6 battery dies in cold weather

Battery dies on my iPhone 6 in cold weather. Phone is about 15 months old, and dies from good battery 50% to 30% down to nothing and auto switch off. ON normal weather the battery is still very good and doesn't show sign of weakening on any normal day. But if it is cold outside, phone will dye in minutes if used outdoors. I first noticed when we went skiing around -5C (20-25F) and it was really bad there. But now it started doing it when it's around +5C (41F) shutting the phone down from 30% battery. When I plug it in, it immediately turns the phone back on and shows 25 or 35% remaining....

Anyone? Design issue? Specific app to kill? Running iOS 9.3, but it was already doing it on iOS 9.2 .... Thanks

Same here on iPhone6. It only seems to happen outside in the cold, when I use the camera. The screen goes black and is unresponsive. When I attach to power, it starts up with a low batter signal (the red empty battery, but once running, the battery is at 30, 45, 50%. It happened 3 times today.

Having same problem out of the blue with my iPhone 6 plus. Out running in 30-40deg weather on 3 occasions, battery was in the 40-50% range and then after about 20 min. of running phone dies and says it must be charged. After returning home and phone presumably warmed up the phone turned back on (without being charged) and indicated the same battery percentage as when it did just before dying. Currently running iOS 10.2
