iPhone 6 battery dies in cold weather

Yes, i have had the same problem since an early iOS9 update. Apple just won't even admit there is a problem! Also, which each iOS update my phone develops a new problem and slows down. I have a iPhone X on order and if there are any problems with it now OR IN THE FUTURE, it will be my last Apple device. For a top shelf company to treat loyal customers like this is outrageous. You can't get mad at the store or support staff, they are just doing their job, but I sure make my view known when I talk to them about the issue. 😟

I'm sure the Apple sales staff at the mall appreciate you have made them aware of your umbrage.

in the mean time go to apple.com/feedback if you would like the Apple Computer developers and management know.

My 6 Plus is doing the same thing since the upgrade and I never had problems in cold weather before. I hope it gets resolved soon as I go in back woods hiking with animals daily and bring phone in case of an emergency.

SUCCESS AT LAST!!!. Ok a little over a year ago when the problems started, post iOS9, cold weather and slowing down, I had my battery tested at the Apple Store. It checked out fine, so the tech said to wipe out the phone and reinstall from back up. That sped up the phone but no joy on the cold weather problem. Fast forward and the phone slowed more and more with each iOS update. Anyway, I reset the phone again and then made an appointment at the Apple Store to replace the battery. Well the battery failed and I have now replaced it. THE PHONE IS NOW FASTER AND I JUST TOOK MY DOG FOR A 1/2 HOUR WALK AT -11C OR 12 FAHRENHEIT STARTED WITH 97% MADE A COUPLE OF CALLS AND GOT BACK WITH 92%!! I EVEN HELD THE PHONE OUT AND NOT IN A POCKET FOR 15MIN. PROBLEM SOLVED EVERYONE.

P.S., I was screwing around with my iPhone 5s afternoon it “died” at 92%, and found that attempting to power up shows the dead battery screen, and trying again immediately after that will actually boot the phone. As long as you do this after placing the phone in a warm environment for a few minutes, you shouldn’t need a charger.

I think the totalky same. Mine (iPhone 5s) worked all years until the winter 2017 just properly with ios 7 and 8, and I had no experience with it dieing from cold weather. Now it dies with ios 9 at 5 •C or so.

Same issue has my family - e.g. an iPhone 6s plus is only 12 months old and now dies with ios 10 at 5 •C either. It was not the issue with ios 9, what is important to keep in mind.

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%.

Hi

Go to apps store download Battery life it will test your battery condition.

If your battery is 2 /3 years Old it will need replacing make an appointment at Apple store.

Or go to Support.apple.com for posting details use SIMCARD in other phone if you have one Mine took 4 days.

Cheers

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.

The recent news about the undocumented feature that Apple wrote into the OS explains a lot. We, a family of 4 all had our phones turn off a few weeks ago when trying to take photos outside. I mean it was light jacket weather!!!!!

I guess I never thought it could be on purpose in the OS??? Apple has lost much of my respect and trust!!!!

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.

I am also facing The same problem. My battery was 30% and I was taking pictures outside and just after one picture.. The phone died. I read somwhere that Lithium in battery performance degrades with cold temperature.Howeve, Apple should keep that in mind while selling phones in North America, where the mercury remains below zero degree Celsius almost 70-80% time during the Winter. That means we won't be able to use the phone outside. On top of that they are now saying to upgrade the OS to fix this, which is another BS as my wife did the same and her phone is freezing like anything.... These are just negative marketing strategy to force people to buy the newer version of iPhone..unacceptable.

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 there 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.
