Apple promises a fix for the iPhone X's cold weather blues

0. phoneArena posted on 10 Nov 2017, 01:52

Some iPhone X users have noticed that their touchscreen becomes unresponsive with a rapid change of temperatures, like, say, going out of the house in cold weather. Well, the weather has to be near freezing, and the screen apparently stops being operational for a few brief seconds, plus locking and unlocking the display prompts the iPhone X to again register touches, but it must be annoying nonetheless, so Apple issued a promise for a fix...

Apple need to invest more in their camera software
They need something to compete with HDR+ Enhanced

This is literally the same results as putting an aftermarket screen onto an iPhone.

"... and the screen apparently stops being operational for a few brief seconds"

Apple's comment:
"After several seconds the screen will become fully responsive again"

English is not my native language but I bet 'few' and 'several' seem more like antonyms than synonyms.

The tone in which this site report Apple's woes...

I thought they're pretty much the same?
like 5 seconds is "a few second" and also "several seconds"
I can't even see the difference in these 2 instances

IMO several is a bit bigger than few
i.e 2-3 seconds is "few seconds" and 4-10 seconds is "several seconds"
but definition and usage is vary between person, and you can call 4-10 items a few in some contexts

What about the reception issue, or the lag issue, or the Face ID issue? Those were just some of the issues I had with the phone. The worst one was the reception issue constantly searching for service, and my battery would die very quickly. The Face ID issues were super annoying, I had to enter my pin 50% of the time. They f**ked up by removing Touch ID. Definitely not worth more than $600.

Isheep is a person who blindly supports his purchase no matter how bad it is. As he is completely honest, he is definetely not an isheep

You can train FaceID more and give it more scans of your face.

On the lock screen, swipe up on gesture bar and youll see that Face ID scrambling animation thing. That is Face ID adding new scans of your face to the database, you can train it too more on angles and itll get a lot better. Try it

Also 11.1.1 has fixed RAM management issues on iOS 11 almost entirely too. Back to 10.3 levels

Curious, did you keep it, or are you one of those people who can't handle change?

Oh no! Another CON for the iPhone X!

Stand back Apple! You're about to cross the 8 line... and get an 8.9 score in the review.

An odd issue, but so long as they acknowledge it and fix it quickly, then it's no big deal.
