Please give an example of a car with inginiton on, becoming unresponsive while driving due to cold . A brand new car .....
We are not talking about tuning the phone on here.....it's on....
[doublepost=1510295356][/doublepost]I'm going to try my X out his morning, nice and cold in London.
We are talking about analogies not equivalencies (and a car turning off in the middle of it being on wouldn't be the same level of issue of a phone temporarily not responding well to touch).Please give an example of a car with inginiton on, becoming unresponsive while driving due to cold .

That said, there have certainly been recalls on cars where ignition would suddenly die.
Jeez Louise they’re aware of the issue and a fix is coming. Apple isn’t perfect nor is any other company.
It’s an annoying bug, BUT life goes on. They have a return policy for a reason. Competition exists for a reason.
Even with an anology , equivalency is most relevant.
Cause .... I consider my touch screen to be equivalent to a steering in a car analogy....
Please quote an example of a brand new model released , in its first week failing ignition due to weather.
Look , who cares, i know we will never talk actual facts.... next time my car has a fault , I can use Apple as an example that other industries also have issue

In all fairness - as we joke in the Development industry , thank god us developers don't build bridges or cars
The tolerances and testing in cars is really thorough as people's lives are at stake , and there is not over the air patch to fix bugs .
In software , we ship unfinished first versions of software that have some ....bad bugs.... we than spend x release fixing them.
It's a very different mindset , and very different consequence , hence why car analogies and phones don't really work..... and nope , iPhone is no Ferrari
Speakerphone on my iPhone X sounds really good and I don’t have any rattle. However, I did have an issue similar to this with my iPhone 6S Plus. It would also rattle like crazy when it vibrated. Turned out the vibration motor was loose and rattled.
Yes a recall. Read the article, they were not aware of it , just after release.
Read my other reply to the other poster.
Ummm tell that to my MacBook, Camry, Sony Tv, Nest Thermostat...etc. You get the point.
It drops into the low 70's there quite often. So cold weather testing should have been worked out.
Oops, forgot to test it in the cold?? Haha!

Apple already addressed it and is working on a fix. Read the title of this discussion.

I'm waiting for Consumer Reports to weigh in and everyone here ridicule them.
Unlike any other iPhones, this one has been a delayed botch after botch.
This site ignores it mostly as this is a fan site.
I actually live in Finland and this claim is a joke. More like 2-3 months a year. The quote doesn’t hold true even in the most northern parts of the country where barely anyone lives at all.
I will admit, these are the sort of things that totally puzzle me, esp from a company as large as Apple.
Let's try our new phone in a range of temperatures that customers from all around the world are likely to experience is not exactly a tricky rare bug to find.
It's one of the items that would on "Page 1" of any check list.
One of those, if you press the calculator buttons fast enough in a specific order something goes wrong issues, then sure, you can understand why that and things like that would often be missed, and only found when it got into the hands of the mass public.
But, will it work in the cold, it pretty dam basic a thing to have on your check list.
As with many items you buy, there could/should even be a range of temps in the specs.
Like say -20'C to +50'C ambient temperature range
Like?

Yeah, it's not like phones and computers and software had issues when he was around. Everything was just perfect and forums like this one basically didn't have anyone complaining about anything at all.
Then also replace the glass backside for something more sturdy/durable with that sw update
