Oct 15, 2016 6:40 AMby glattkjorer,i experienced this since last year. i bought mine cotober 2015, then winter came december and whenever i use my iphone outside cold temperature from 10 degrees (its not even that cold) it shutsdown even if its more than 50% battery and when you power on, it shows it needs charging. but i didnt bother to send it right away not until april 2016 when im already so frustrated of it so i send it to my wireless carrier where i bought it, NOTHING WRONG found out. then it began to be warmer because of summer june - september, then again october now beginning winter, it started again but my warranty is already over. It's so hopeless. Im so frustrated im just switching to galaxy note 7.

It started about two weeks ago...with a friend of mines 6sPlus as well..at just the same time as mine. Then it was 36% and shut off. Now it is 52% and shut down. A phone should work for more than a year (mine is just about one year old as well). We aren't asked to fix our cars when they don't work. Why should we have to fix our phones...and why don't they work?? It is bizarre and very frustrating. Maybe it is a ploy to force us into iphone 7??? Anyway, I need help. A phone should be reliable and not temperamental.

The only workaround is to never auto lock or manually lock your screen. Your screen will indefinitely light up but I lowered the brightness all the way down to get a longer battery life and brighten it again whenever I need to use it. Unless your phone is under warranty, this is the only way to go forward without the auto shut down.
