We're in the midst of a Polar Vortex and this large mass of cold air is bringing record cold temperatures including wild weather like snow in Louisiana!
Did you know that your favorite devices like your laptop, iPad, and smartphone all struggle in the cold? Extreme temperatures can affect battery life, screen responsiveness and overall performance! ??????
Apple, for example, recommends using iOS and iPadOS devices in temperatures between 32°F and 95°F (0°C to 35°C). Exposure to temperatures outside this range - whether too hot or too cold - can cause performance issues.
On these colder winter days (and hot summer days ahead), don’t store your electronics in your car.? If your device gets too cold your device may?become temporarily disabled.?
In very cold temperatures like we’re having right now, the very cold?conditions might temporarily shorten battery life and could cause your device to turn off.?? Your iphone and ipad may not charge or could stop charging if it's too cold and you may get a warning on your screen.
Your iphone may still be able to make emergency calls.? Move your phone to a warmer environment to resume normal operations.
Impact of the extreme cold:
?What can you do?
Take care of your electronics, and they'll take care of you - keeping them at the right temperature helps ensure they stay reliable, responsive, and ready when you need them! ??????????
