iPhone SE restarted yesterday in the cold (10% battery remaining)
#1
I went outside with my Son to take some pictures of a fallen tree and a video of another tree that was about to fall due to strong winds. He has a homework assignment to write about a real event, and he wanted to write about the storm w had yesterday.

As I was shooting the video, the iPhone shut down restarted by itself but it seemed to take longer than usual. we went back inside, iPhone already restarted by itself, 10% battery remaining. Looking at the log, it appears the battery level was ~35% and then went down quite fast as I was shooting the video (and yes, it was cold outside, around 36F with strong winds)

iOS says I have 89% of the original capacity and battery is operating at peak performance.

I will probably wait another few months and get a new battery ($49). The iPhone is almost 3 year old.

Cold is not kind to batteries. Experienced that when I went to take photos of my son in the snow at the P.S. Tram 20 years ago. All my batteries failed on my camera.

Phone shutdown unexpectedly is a sign of a battery going bad at temp. In cold, battery condition shows up worse

I knew photographers who had external battery packs to their cameras. They would keep the batteries against themselves for warmth and had a 3' long cable that plugged into the camera. Of course, that was 30 years ago and Jonny Ives would never approve of something so inelegant as that today.

Back then probably he still has some common sense. This obsession with THIN didn't get in his brain yet.
