How to save iPhone from cold?

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

Winter is a great time, but not for our iPhone. If the temperature of the thermometer drops below zero, the iPhones will start to turn off. This is a sad fact that we face from year to year. Why is this happening and what to do with it?

What happens to the iPhone in the cold?

Cold weather and the iPhone are not compatible. iPhones charge quickly, slow down, or suddenly turn off. According to Apple, the optimal temperature for the iPhone is from 0 to +35 ° C. Can be stored outdoors at -20 to + 45 ° C.

In fact, the iPhone starts to behave strangely at temperatures close to zero. It doesn’t respond well to pressing the screen, the smartphone loses network, restarts itself, or shuts down altogether. Why is that?

The problem is the lithium-ion battery. In the cold, the ions of the batteries lose their properties, resulting in increased internal resistance and loss of power. True, it loses temporarily, but the reason for this is that even the iPhone can turn off with more than half of the device.

How can this be combated?

Tip 1. Fill your iPhone to 100% before you go outside

Simple but useful advice. The longer the iPhone battery is charged before it runs out, the longer it will run. It is best to charge it completely before going out in the cold.

Tip 2. Carry your smartphone in a holster

Don't like holsters? Don’t want to carry a modern device like the iPhone X in a holster? But in the winter, it not only saves your smartphone from encountering asphalt, but also prevents it from freezing quickly.

Tip 3. Use headphones

Use a headset to communicate in the winter, as you won’t have to take your smartphone out of a warm pocket. It is best to use with normal wires, it has no batteries, so there will be no difficulty in the cold.

Tip 4. Use big games

To keep the processor running and prevent the battery from cooling down, turn on a heavy program or game before leaving.

Tip 5. Do not use the iPhone as a navigator in the winter

The iPhone is not ready to work in a cold car in the evening, so it is not recommended to use it as a winter navigator, otherwise it will turn off even before reaching the workplace. Even at this time of year, don’t leave your iPhone in the car for long periods of time.

Tip 6. Hold the iPhone closer to the body.

It’s best to carry your iPhone in your inner pocket and keep it closer to you. If the smartphone is in the side pocket of your pants or jacket, it is more likely to freeze and turn off.

What to do if your iPhone freezes and shuts down?

First, heat your smartphone. Heat the iPhone slowly, not to lower the temperature suddenly. Do not place the phone on the battery or in the oven in the car, otherwise condensation may form.

It is also not possible to drop the charger immediately, it will only damage the smartphone. Try turning it on after 30-40 seconds. Is it on? If it is not on and the charging icon is on the screen, the battery is completely discharged.

In the winter, it’s always a good idea to have an external battery to charge your smartphone with you. It should be compact, lightweight and practical. The maximum capacity of the battery is 10 mA. Low - doesn’t make much sense, big - is usually heavy.

Hopefully, these tips will help you survive the cold with your favorite smartphone. Happy New Year!
