I'm almost 40, some years ago I noticed that at winter I get more frustrated with my phones and start thinking of changing them.

It turned out each winter I make screens much more dirty and my fingers are drier. Touch gets more random, fingerprint readers success rate drops from 100% to more like 50%.

Nowadays I make sure I clean the screen with actual dedicated products often, and make sure I keep hands moisturized. It works well, even if the latter contributes to the former.

Haven't changed phone in over 2 years and still don't feel the need for change :)

i thought possibly bloodflow is less prevalent on the surface of your fingers in cold weather, and finger touches are harder to detect as a result, but i don't have data or proof.

Oils or dirt can interfere with touch sensitivity
