iPhone 6 battery dies in cold weather

My phone keeps dying. The temperature outside is 4c and all the windows are closed. I would leave my phone on 100% and next thing when I go to look at the time my screen goes black. I have to then turn my phone and when I turn it on it says no battery even though it’s just charged up to 100%.

And how old is it?

You need to get out in the cold more. Many of the people I work with outside have this issue. It is real Why do Apple fans deny anything can be wrong. “It just works” I hear all the time we’ll let me tell you this not when it gets slightly cold it doesn’t.

It's -7 here.

Thanks for it.

But why Apple don’t re-call all old IPhone 6 batteries and purpose a change with the new?

I think that the money spent was a lot and good and now I discover that my IPhone 6 is only for people that live in place with good weather.

Hmmmmmm, I dunno maybe use higher quality batteries that don't suffer in the cold as much, like the ones used in the iphone 4 s for instance, I have an old 4S that is used for work it has far more charging cycles on it it is physically much older in years and doesnt go from 100% to flat in an hour outside in temps barely below zero like my iphone 6 does outside in the same pocket of my jacket. All these apple geeks who keep on saying it just works have their heads in the sand. There is a problem with these batteries, Apple are just too obsessed with making people buy the next generation item all the time they can't be arsed. Apple customer service amounts to just about sweet FA.

Does this?

Apple geek alert. Tell me something I don't know I am fully aware of the type of battery. Please tell me why an iphone6 uses more power with everything shut down in my pocket then an iphone 4 in my pocket with everything shut down. Both phones are doing nothing both phones are in my pocket one phone goes from 100% to nothing. The iphone 6. One phone is still at 98%, the iphone 4s. Both phones are doing nothing, everything is shut down. Your argument doesn't stand up and Apple do not admit a problem. The iphone 4s does not have a battery problem the iphone 6 does, get you head out the sand, why defend something that is obviously not fit for purpose. I will leave you to tell apple. I have better things to do than waste oxygen on more Apple geeks. It just works Hahahahaha! In fact dont bother telling me anything I'm not interested.

Alex my previous phone worked well in cold weather then all of a sudden when it was cold it would lose power fast , my new one was working perfect in the cold , never had and issue in the minus 20 temps but since last update appears that I no longer can take my phone out even when -5

Yet people I know with same phone that do not do the updates it works well in cold , very interesting in my opinion

The good thing is that I don't have to look, I just take any. :)

Seriously, there's - 10 today at my place and I keep using my Sony Xperia outside. No issues at all. I guess it's the same with Samsung and the rest. Not sure what Apple is doing but a bit over protecting their battery and their customers.

Yes, I do this daily 🙂

I work with mobile phones and I do measurements before and after battery replacement.

Here is an iPhone6 that I replaced the battery on yesterday:

Graph 1 show the behavour BEFORE battery replacement.

Graph 2 show the behavour AFTER battery replacement.

(since the battery died during test 1 the graph looks a bit strange, and its in swedish but I think it will be no problem to understand anyway. Number of charge cycle counts: 179)

I am not going to help here, but I am having the exact same issue and it is getting worse. Has anybody tried a new battery? Does it make a differrence?

exactly the same issue.

iphone 6s.

surprised there is no comments from Apple after such a long time...

Im pretty sure this is a software bug.

Same problem here. iOS 10.1.1

Just +6c outside and shutdown within minutes.

iPhone 6s

I've got the same version of IOS and mine is still turning off randomly while outside now that it's cooled off to between 5-10 Celsius when I go for my run.

My wife and my phone is doing the same thing. 10.1.1 6s phone. My wife is due in the next 2 weeks. She needs her phone to be reliable. Please fix apple. This looks like a software issue.
