Your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or other smartphone is tough. But, the freezing temperatures of the winter cannot protect your phone. Phones are actually not supposed to be in temperatures lower than 32 degrees which is freezing. We have seen customers enter our computer repair and iPhone / Samsung repair shop because the cold air caused the glass on the screen to break. Other phones experienced battery drainage due to the extreme conditions.
How can you prevent your phone from freezing? First of all, don’t leave your phone in any icy car. The best way is to keep them in an inside pocket close to your body so your body warmth will raise the phone temperature. If you need to leave your phone in a car or outside pocket, be sure to turn it off. You have a better chance of the electronics remaining stable when the phone is powered off.
Yes, you can try to protect your phone with a super-duper weather protective case, such as the Salt Case, but quite frankly, these cases are either ugly or too bulky to slip in your pants pocket. Your best bet is keeping your phone close to your body or turn it off.
