iPhone 6 battery dies in cold weather

@Csound: if iPhones weren't able to operate at below freezing temperatures, they shouldn't allow iPhones to be sold in countries where temperatures can drop below 0. Instead, they should advise to buy another phone. But obviously this is a flaw in some iPhones, something you obviously don't understand, but luckily Apple has already acknowledged

I think it's excellent that Apple publishes the operating temperature. This says that if I put my phone in the refrigerator for a while (above freezing, temperature controlled, easily measured), it has to continue to work. I will do this as soon as I can. Might be interesting if we got a larger sample size to do the same.

Putting it in such a wet environment is also not good for it.

Good point. I have no desire to sacrifice my $600 phone for the sake of an experiment so I will use a plastic baggie.

According to their specs, it should be fine.

Environmental Requirements

Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing

I think the problem is more nuanced than that - it seems to get worse with age and at about 15 months goes very quickly from showing a charge to dying When exposed to temperatures that should be within its operating range. Don't other phones have lithium batteries? It seems to be specific to the iPhone 6 and 6S. Thanks CSound1 - posting again https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/

I came across your post when trying to find out what to do about mine, experiencing the same issue with anywhere from 30-60% battery left...

I have a 6, but if yours is a 6s, you may qualify for a battery replacement like my friend did - check with your serial number here: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/ (Sorry if someone else already shared this)

They simple don't care....

I would check the technical specs of the X and see if they are different from current models before you purchase one.

Took your advice and sent the a message to Feedback, not sure how much good it does, but thanks.

My iPhone 7 32gb black turned off during a phone call I went in a shop I turned it on it had 20% and then dropped to 14% to answer the iPhone 7 is no bett

Now I hear that the X has a cold weather problem😳 only thing is, they will likely fix the SOFTWARE problem because it’s a new product. Us older versions are left out int the ”Cold”!! AGAIN

Done hold your breath, i have had this problem for over a year and it is clear they don't want to address it.

Like CSound1 says, I would not celebrate too much if I were you.

Next Winter you will most likley have the same problem again.

Having the same problem with my 7 here in US. My concern is heightened by The NY Times article on Apple-slowing older phones.

Other than not using Lithium batteries what would you have Apple do, keeping it in mind does not change the physics of the problem.
