Following reports that the screen on the company's $1,000 and up new iPhone X may become unresponsive when temperatures go south, Apple says it's readying a software fix. "We are aware of instances where the iPhone X screen will become temporarily unresponsive to touch after a rapid change to a cold environment. After several seconds the screen will become fully responsive again," Apple said in a statement to USA TODAY Friday.
Apple surely hopes the problem is not widespread, especially as the weather is just starting to get cold in large parts of the country. As for the problem with the cold, Apple’s website recommends that you should use iOS devices where the ambient temperature is between 32 and 95-degree Fahrenheit. Apple even cautions folks that using the device in very cold conditions could shorten battery life and cause the device to turn off.
