Ever since I had my iPhone 6 out on a few cold hikes (~0°F), it started acting funny. Even though it was in my pocket, I think it was still well below 20°. Say it's currently at 65%, and it gets cool...let's say 40°F for only 10 minutes. Sometimes it will then jump down to something like 30%. Obviously it didn't discharge 35% in minutes. But it continues to discharge at a normal rate from that point on...34....33...etc. But the second I plug it in to recharge, it will start reporting the 65% again (or, 64, 63, whatever). It will hold at this even though I only plugged it in for one second then unplugged it. So I'm back to 65%.
I don't think it's normal wear since I'm easy on my batteries regarding charging habits. It's about 18mo old. And I had an older iPhone and others which lasted years and years.
So did I just subject it to too much cold?
