'-38f' and '-38f after windchill' are entirely different things, especially to a phone.
Windchill does not effect non-living things much.

Live in MN and this week we had -27C of real temp (not taking wind chill into consideration). I left my office and my iphone 5 had 68% battery. Once I got to my car outside in less than 2 minutes I saw a "low batt sign" on the iphone screen and it was now showing only 15% battery. The phone was very cold. By the time I got home and left the phone inside the battery went back to around 55% pretty fast. On the same day my wife got home and said the ipod we leave connected in the car was dead. It is plugged all the time so battery should not be an issue but I took it inside and it was back after couple minutes of being in a warm enrvironment.
Just out of curiosity, where are you now? -40C of real temperature is brutal.
off course I dont leave it outside in the snow![]()
I guess I'll be fine using my iPhone here in San Diego lol
You guys think it will be alright to take my 5s snowboarding with me for 8 hours? Its going to be around 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes. I own an ipod touch 4, an iphone 5c and iPod nano 7. I live in arizona where it is pretty warm (where i live it gets only too 30 degrees farenhieght. But when i go to northern arizona (at least 5 times a year)where it snows alot, i always keep mi idevices in a leather belt case so they stat insulated or i keep them in a cinching sunglasses microfiber cloth bag to keep it warm. One year i didnt do that and my idevices all died overnight in the 12 degree whether when thay were all fully charged. The cold is terrible on battery and will decrease its lifespan drastically if u dont protect them.
I normally carry my iPhone in my butt crack. Keeps it nice and warm...
I hear that's an easy way to get one into prison too![]()
As long as you don't leave it outside long term, it will be fine.

Nope but extreme heat will permanently harm your battery.

Must be odd to pull it out in public...
