Living in Antarctica for over five years, Matthew Jordan has discovered a genius trick to keep his iPhone battery alive in freezing temperatures. In a recent Instagram post, he shared his secret, stating that it’s a must-know for everyone when the snow hits.
According to Jordan, it’s the little life hacks that make a big difference. In a video, he explains how batteries don’t last long in cold weather. However, there are a few small tips and tricks that can help prolong their lifespan.
Apple also acknowledges that using an iPhone or iPad in extremely cold conditions can temporarily shorten the battery life. In fact, the cold weather may cause your device to turn off and stop charging. Apple recommends using your iPhone in temperatures no lower than 0°C/32°F and storing it in areas where the temperature is no lower than -20°C/-4°F.
But what happens when temperatures drop well below freezing in the winter months? Fortunately, Jordan has a solution. He suggests placing a foot warmer on the outside of your phone case, near the battery. This simple trick helps warm up the iPhone without making it dangerously hot.
Not only does this trick work wonders for those in Antarctica like Jordan, but it’s also wise for those hitting the ski fields. So, the next time you find yourself in freezing weather and want to ensure your iPhone battery survives, give this genius trick a try.
