*[depending on where you keep your phone and what type of gloves you wear, instructions will vary]
1. Pull iPhone out of left pocket with left gloved hand. See that iPhone requires attention.
2. While still holding iPhone in left gloved hand, remove right glove by a)biting fingertip of glove with teeth while sliding hand out of glove or b)squeeze gloved hand in between upper arm and torso and slide hand out of glove.
3. Use iPhone with bare right hand while holding iPhone in gloved left hand.
4 Upon completion of iPhone session grasp right glove in right hand, replace iPhone in left pocket, reinstall right glove.
There, I have solved your problem without the use of goofy "iPhone specific gloves".
Please...79 degrees is NOTHING!!! In Southern Californa, summers are usually 100 degrees daily. We're lucky if it's below 95...
I want so badly to live in a cold place with normal seasons...
I wasn't saying it was hot - I was saying it was barmy. You know, warm but not too warm.
It's Australia. We have a town in Western Australia that had 161 consecutive days where the temperature didn't drop below 37°C (100°F). Not even at night.
We know what hot is.
Cold however, that's another story...

When you live in upstate New York, one winter can seem like two or three (former Rochester resident).
Oh, yep, my bad. I honestly would have argued that this was my third winter with an iPhone last night... I'm laughing at myself right now...
Last night I was thinking about it and seriously could not figure out how many winters I have had an iPhone, but now I think how stupid that was. My bad.

I agree 100%! That's the way it was for me last night when I was trying to figure my response out. Guess it was a brain freeze from the weather.
This is how I do it.

Try St. Louis - average temps range from 90 to 20...but sometimes get to around 105 or down to -10.
Hmmm....weather.com said that the record low for December here was -28, back in 1989...
Oh... I see
Sorry, I didn't realize I had to do it step by step for you. Here, give me your hand....I will show you how.
First open your web browser. Then type google.com. Oh, here, I will make it even easier for you. www.google.com Then type Iphone Dot gloves into the search area. Oh, here, I will make it easy for you again. http://dotsgloves.com/.
Now that the tough part is over I will let your hand go so you can figure out the rest for yourself.
Yah I noticed this too. Just the nature of the beast, I'm afraid. The ideal solution: move to LA, although those gloves are pretty cool as well.
did you get an early release iphone before the rest of the public? being that the original iphone was released in the summer of 2007 i dont see how this could be your third winter with an iphone.

you know you can double click the button on the included headphones to skip songs, right?
you may not be using the included headphones, but in case you are that might help you out
I have the Northface ETip gloves and they work great. I noticed that once the temperature dips down below 20 (F) they don't really keep your hands super warm since they are a thin glove. But the responsiveness is great, no complains. We've consistently been between 15-40 degrees here since I got the gloves and wear/use them every time I'm outside with my iPhone. No complains (other than the cold thing I mentioned). Even work while it's snowing when the screen gets a little wet. They're not the best looking gloves, but they work as advertised.
California is far from dry, I was there last month and the humidity was very noticeable. Although the south is much more humid than California could ever hope to be.
I would love to have some snow here, it has only snowed once this winter.
I have the Etip Gloves made by The North Face. No need to take them off; the pointer fingers and thumbs have different material that do not interfere with iPhone operation. They work great.
