So a $1000 plus paperweight in the winter? :razz: In a recent YouTube video titled "Apple iPhone X screen freezing up when it's freezing outside? Fix is on the way,", it was reported that users in colder climates have encountered a significant issue with the iPhone X. Once exposed to extremely cold temperatures, the screen becomes unresponsive, effectively turning this high-tech device into what some might jokingly call a "$1000 paperweight."

Issue at Hand​

The video reveals that the phone tends to freeze when users transition from warm indoor environments to the frigid outdoors, like stepping outside from a cozy setting. Apple acknowledged the complaints and reassured users that a software update is in the works to address this temperature sensitivity problem. Fortunately, the device typically resumes normal functionality after a brief period in the cold, even without the update. Users are advised to keep their phones warmer during these cold spells as a temporary workaround.

Additional Insights​

This isn't the first significant issue Apple has faced with their devices, as viewers might recall past problems like the infamous autocorrect bug affecting the letter "I." Apple addressed that with their iOS updates, highlighting their ongoing commitment to resolving user concerns.

Ongoing Developments​

For those invested in the tech world, the video also touches on upcoming developments beyond the iPhone X. Electronic Arts (EA) acquiring Respawn Entertainment, creators of the Titanfall series and various other titles, indicates more engaging gaming content on the horizon. The gaming community will be keenly looking forward to new releases, including anticipated titles set within the expansive Star Wars universe—an announcement that aligns with Disney's continued investment in the franchise.
