How does cold effect the iPhone?

[RavenSword]

So I work in a job that occasionally has me walking into a walk in freezer to grab food products. When I do this, it's only for about 30 seconds at most. However, I always have my phone in my pocket. I'm wondering if being subjected to that freezing cold could mess it up in someway, even though it was only less than a minute or so and in my pocket. Should it probably be ok?

Should be fine.

Yeah sorry, I know I worry too much. I just heard that extreme cold isn't good for the phone.

When you walk into the freezer, take it outside and leave it in your car (during the summer) to offset the freezer burn. If you get warning messages on the screen, just go back in the freezer. It will become a cyclical thing...freezer...car interior...freezer...car interior. You could make it a race eventually!

So you're not going to even tell him about the two index finger trick in order to get it back to regular tempature again?

I usually just wrap mine in uncooked bacon...then I cook the bacon on ravensword's iPhone after it's been sitting in the car.

Glad to see your back raven. It's been more then 24 hours since your last thread and I was starting to worry...

Sorry if I worry about screwing up my phone. I'd like for me not to ruin it.

You're doing a fine job of keeping your phone safe from harm. If you don't ask, you'll never know.

We're just busting your balls bud...you should be used to it by now. It'll be ok.

I just wanted to be sure that the freezing temperature didn't do anything, even though it was only a half minute at most.

As long as you keep your phone in your pocket, your body temp will keep the phone warm. You're most likely to freeze to death before your phone.

I hear Elsa's iPhone stays nice and warm when she uses one of these cases ...

But it breaks after it falls 1 foot from the ground, so she buys in bulk.

For that short of a time, the phone won't even get cold. Even if it wasn't in your pocket, it would take 10+ minutes to get to freezing point, depending on the freezer temperature

I've heard that in some cold environment the touch screen won't work for the low temperature and if you just enter a low temperature place for few time, nothing serious.
