iPhone user question

I LOVE my iPhone. Since there is no Internet here it does everything but cook dinner.

Today the high was 8 degrees. I spent the day welding new gates for a hog pen. I have noticed that it really eats batteries when it is this cold (it is in the pocket of my coat). Does it have a way of warming itself? I haven't noticed it feeling warm but that is all I can figure. I have had the display say that it is too hot to function but nothing about old. Maybe it is just battery capacity deminishing?

To answer your question I usually ice fish most of the winter and I have noticed with my phone that the battery does die down significantly when I am out fishing in the open but when I go back to my ice house with heat the battery acts much like a vehicle battery in that it warms up and I start to get more bars the warmer it gets.

Some times mine will run its battery down just searching for a signal one area near me is noted for draining batterys as there is no signal there but the phone keeps searching. one way to check is shut your phone all the way down and see how the batterys turn out.
Where i work if you dont shut down your battery will go flat

Like others have said.
1. If the battery is cold it will not run the phone as long.
2. If it's not receiving as strong a wireless signal it will use more power trying to maintain the connection.

No, it doesn't try to warm the battery.

If you are in an area with little or no service it will keep searching/roaming for a signal That wears the battery down. I learned this in AK last fall. Go to "airplane" mode and it won't search.
