I have a 5 year old iphone 5 and I live in Sweden - Stockholm where it is very cold during winter time. My iphone 5 has never ever acted like this, with unresponsive screen and alike. I even dropped it in snow and it layed there for 20 min before I found it, no problems with the screen. Although the battery drained very quickly in the cold, as all lithium batteries do.

I have an Iphone X now, and I'm so worried it will act up in the cold. Will test it soon when it gets colder here.

Apple seems to believe its a software issue though?
 
Same issue on my Space Gray 256gb X. I left my house this am and it ws about 41 degrees F here in NYC and when I was waiting for my train my touch screen was not registering touches. I really hope this is just a software issue like Apple states it is.

Hi,

I have a space gray 256gb iPhone X and I really like the phone, except...

I live in Finland and here is cold (-30-5°C) about 6 to 7 months in a year. Yesterday I noticed that when I'm outside and temperature hits about -1°C (~30°F) my iPhone X's display becomes working incorrectly. Some touches aren't recognized and some are not accurate at all. Problem solves itself after about 3-5 minutes of use, or when I go back indoors.

This is driving me crazy. Anyone else having this kind of problem with the phone?
i noticed the screen acts up when it is cold outside
 
Yep, having the same problem. It was about 40 here a few days ago, and when I took my new X out of my pocket right after walking outside the touch stopped working for about 30 seconds. At first I thought it was my cold fingers, but then I switched hands and I realized it was a problem with the screen. The touch started working again after about 30 seconds while I was still outside in the cold. Bizarre.
