The iPhone X Becomes Unresponsive When It Gets Cold (zdnet.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the cold-never-bothered-me-anyway dept.

sqorbit writes: Apple is working on a fix for the newly release iPhone X. It appears that the touch screen can become unresponsive when the iPhone is subjected to cold weather. Users are reporting that locking and unlocking the phone resolves the issue. Apple stated that it is aware of the issue and it will be addressed in a future update.

    At this point, I really have no sympathy for those who rushed out and paid $1000 to be a glorified beta tester.

    You mean the iQuija Board, now with SpritSense(tm) technology to authenticate the souls of those who respond. Available in classic white and graveyard black!

    Much like some were apparently wrongly holding an earlier version of the iPhone, clearly some customers of the latest version are living in the wrong climate and they should relocate in order to get a better Apple experience.

    It is quite simple. First, make a phone that does not work below a certain temperature. Thus you force everyone into a smaller geographic region, say +/- 35 degrees off the equator. Next, make the display take on green lines, and you force people to avoid wilderness areas (since they may lose their now-green phone, because it is effectively camouflaged) so they all end up in urban areas. Once Apple has you constrained to those areas - control is greatly simplified!

    Apple just announced, it has fixed the problem. It is a sleek white heater case, iMitten sold separately for 79$. It will keep the phone at the recommended operating temperature. After market replacement heater jackets are not recommended, it would void the warranty.
