Yeah, not even your version of cold. It shuts off in 5-6 c.
I have to keep it in an inside coat pocket.Only happens during use. Physics dictate the battery can't deliver X amount of current at those temps and the metal body transfers heat a little too well.
This is why plastic (android) is sometimes the right material.

All these low temp issues are a joke.
How can they offer premium phones that can't even handle mild frost?I still have my old iPhone 4 lying around (serving as a timer, mostly), remember running around with this at -18°C in Berlin years ago and it was totally fine (apart from the thing freezing to my cheek).
Got a 5 that showed the swollen battery problem (to a degree that one would have thought, when pressing on the screen, that there's a sachet of ketchup inside).
Got another 5 now and have to charge it every day, while all I'm doing is mailing, very little browsing / chatting / phone calls and like one hour of music when communting.
Nonsense.
Cold as in actually cold or uk cold? I've been using my 6s in -18 and it's been working as normal. Sounds like I've been lucky with the battery I got?
