Your Phone At 48 Degrees Below Zero

    What about hot weather? Will a phone survive our heatwaves in the Aussie summer, where in certain locations (e.g inside a car) it can get to well over 60C in air temperature?

    uh, under -40ยบ Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same (might not be true, can’t remember where I heard it)
