Hmmm... this would be pretty frustrating for us Canadians especially! Hopefully a software fix does the trick.
Fix is move to a warmer climate, (...or stay indoors..)

I certainly don't care to read your pointless 'car analogies' for dozens of posts.
Perhaps take an example from people who are actually providing useful info in this thread...
Remember a short while ago when Apple was planning to build a self-driving car?
So you're saying ... the phone needs to be heavier?If the screen doesn't respond it is LITERALLY a show-stopper - a touchscreen device where the screen doesn't respond to touch is just a paperweight.
So long as it's just a couple of pieces of paper and there are no light breezes it should be fine!So you're saying ... the phone needs to be heavier?
DenialWhats the difference between "temporary unresponsive" and not fit for purpose?
That’s correct. How do you think your nervous system works? Get back to me once you educate yourself on this topic. Until then, stop trolling.
Yes your body gives of an weak electrical field which distorts a sensing field in the screen to determine where the touch came from. Quit rolling eyes and learn something before commenting. I’m no genius but will learn a little something before making comments I know absolutely nothing about. This is why over half of the posts here are useless to read. And half is being nice. I like this site to know a what’s going on, but reading what people type brings me so much laughter. And if you specifically are referring to the use of the word “current” cause you do have a basic understanding doesn’t mean you have to be sarcastic to those that did some reading and made a comment and used the wrong word.
Haven't you seen Thor Ragnarok?

First of all, I never said electricity flows from your finger into the phone’s display. I saidElectrical current doesn't flow from your fingertips into your phone display. That's not how capacitance works.
I wonder how much electricity can flow from a passive style pen into the phone display...

So you're upset by all the false information here but take issue when someone points out that electrical current doesn't flow from your fingertips. That's why passive capacitive stylus works.
It's not just a wrong word, it's a wrong principle, and people reading it will gather a wrong understanding of how it works.

Well, he is an exception who probably does have current flowing through his fingers.![]()
it has to do with the capacitive touch controller which recognizes the electrical current in your finger as a touch
I’m surprised this isn’t dominating the news sites more than the green line issue.
Hard to go snowboarding in a warmer climate or indoors thoughFix is move to a warmer climate, (...or stay indoors..)
For a $1,579 device over here in Aus, no you should not expect bugs!!
They couldn't have possibly tested it. It's still 68F (20C) here in Cupertino.

Also, with regards to your stylus jab, you are further proving my point since all capacitive styli must be made of a conductive material so that the electricity in your finger or hand can travel to the tip in order to communicate with your device.
Electrical current doesn't flow from your fingertips into your phone display. That's not how capacitance works.

Or, move into your freezerYou're doing it wrong, move south.
Once again, I never claimed that electricity flows from your finger into the display, so the poster you are siding with is misquoting me and also bringing absolutely no information to this discussion, just so you know.Nope, it does not sense your body's "weak electrical field."
Electricity does not come from your finger.
Correct. The electricity comes FROM the display out to the finger or sausage or whatever non-insulator is nearby. Thus the lowering of voltage at a particular spot is what indicates a touch.
The capacity of the nearby touching conductor is what determines how much electricity flows from the screen. That's why it's called a capacitive touch screen.
Electrically, we're roughly the equivalent of a six foot diameter ball of water. This is because our blood and electrolytes in the capillaries near the surface of our skin are good electrical conductors.
Note that when we get cold, our capillaries narrow and we then have less conductivity near the surface of our skin. This can affect capacitive touch screen sensitivity, but this has always been true.
It works when we touch it not just because our body is a conductor, but also has a small static electrical field that is produced by some of our cells, most abundantly in our nervous system which is constantly using small electrical currents called action potentials to propagate signals throughout our body and to and from our brain.
No, both electrical fields communicate. Our electrical field disrupts the electrical field the display is producing and registers as a touch.Again, no, it has nothing to do with any electricity our own body generates or uses.
Electrical fields are projected by the touchscreen X-Y cross points, not the person or object touching them.
Heck, as the Koreans figured out, in winter you can use a thick dead sausage with a glove and the touchscreen will still work.

Not sure what you are getting at with “self generated charge,” but it’s the electrical and chemical properties of our bodies that give us our capacitance. This changes depending on our surrounding environment. In a nutshell, we wouldn’t have the capacitance to interact with a capacitive touch screen if not for the electrical processes occurring within our body, which of course are influenced by our surroundings.Still nope. A live person with his own electrical field is not necessary to act as a mutual capacitance touch "stylus".

You buy a 1 million dollar car and still have issues. It happens when you buy something that hasn't been done before.

No matter how much testing they do beforehand they can not fully test until they have 5-6 million users in the first weeks to report back to them. So chill, it will be sorted. If you can't put up with the issues don't buy in week 1. Wait 1-2 months or so and then go for it. If you want it week 1 then just ride the wave. You're a pioneer. Chill. Probably you haven't got an X anyways and you're just here for slagfest.

Over the course of the last week, there have been a growing number of complaints from users who have discovered that the display of the iPhone X becomes unresponsive in the cold.
Users on both reddit and the MacRumors forums have noticed that their iPhones immediately refuse to recognize some touch input when exposed to cool outdoor temperatures. As it turns out, there is a software bug causing the issue, which Apple says will be addressed in an upcoming update. From a statement to The Loop:
Apple says its iOS devices operate best between temperatures of 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F), but some of the people who are experiencing issues have seen display problems within these temperature parameters. Reddit user darus214, for example, had his iPhone X act up when it was 45 to 50ºF outside.Not all iPhone X users are experiencing problems with the display in cold weather, and those that are see the problem occur as soon as cold exposure happens rather than after a period of time, which does indeed suggest a software issue. Most affected users have said that the problem clears up after a few minutes. From the MacRumors forums:It's not clear when Apple will fix the cold weather bug, but a fix could come in iOS 11.2, which is currently in beta testing. Apple this morning released iOS 11.1.1, an update that addresses an autocorrect bug that caused "i" to correct to "A[?]" on some devices.![]()
