Can't use iPhone X in winter? Apple official response: Yes
4hw.org: Apple's mobile phone will automatically shut down in the low temperature environment. Apple fans all know this. But will the iPhone x, the most expensive Apple mobile phone in history, appear this problem? If you want to take a picture of Meimei rolling in the snow, OK? I'm afraid this answer will take a while to answer.
"We have realized that when the iPhone x quickly enters a cold environment, the screen will temporarily lose response, and it will take a few seconds before it can be used normally. This problem will be solved in the near future software update. "Apple said.
'in cold weather, the iPhone x screen will lose its response. "Apple said it would solve this problem through software update.
As Lingdong is approaching, apple confirmed a related issue on September 9, involving its latest smartphone, the iPhone X.
The description of the problem is: 'in cold weather, the iPhone x screen will lose its response. "Apple said it would solve this problem through software update.
The problem first appeared in reddit's iPhone section, where some users said the iPhone x would freeze in just a few seconds when it was around 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
Apple immediately responded: 'we have realized that when the iPhone x quickly enters a cold environment, the screen will temporarily lose response, and it will take a few seconds before it can be used normally. This problem will be solved in the near future software update. '
The requirements of Apple's official website for the operating environment of its electronic products show that the best operating environment for iPhone, iPad, iPod and apple watch is 0 ℃ - 35 ℃, while the best operating environment for MacBook is 10 ℃ - 35 ℃. At present, many areas in the north are below - 10 ℃, which is too much lower than the best operating temperature of iPhone.
But don't worry too much. If the phone is turned off due to cold weather, this situation is only temporary. When the battery temperature returns to the normal operating range, its performance will return to normal.
IPhone will 'power up' at low temperature
The iPhone uses lithium-ion batteries. The best operating environment is 0 ℃ - 35 ℃, and the best non operating temperature (i.e. storage temperature) is - 20 ℃ - 45 ℃. When used at normal temperature, its lithium ion will remain active, and the electrolyte inside the lithium-ion battery will generate current through the potential difference between the positive and negative poles due to the change of chemical reaction.
When the iPhone is below 0 ℃, the ion diffusion of the positive and negative electrodes is poor, and the discharge capacity is weak, the system will recognize that there is no power. At this time, there will be a large number of 'power cuts' in a short period of time, and even trigger the battery self-protection mechanism to make the phone automatically shut down.
What about Android phones?
It is learned that the impact of low temperature is not only iPhone, Android phones are also affected. What's different is that at present, Apple has designed the temperature detection mechanism to trigger the automatic shutdown mechanism as long as the environment is lower than 0 ℃, while many Android phones have set the battery self-protection at a lower temperature, so they are more resistant to low temperature.
In addition, some domestic Android phones have poor heat dissipation performance and can also act as a 'warm baby' in winter, so it is relatively less likely to have a low-temperature automatic shutdown.
In fact, in addition to the discharge process of lithium-ion batteries affected by temperature, the charging process is also affected by low temperature. For example, the iPad may not be charged at low temperature. At this time, as long as a warm-up treasure is placed under the panel, the problem will be solved.
