Hello, I have a question about my phones battery life at higher elevations. Last July I spent time out in the CO front range, my phone was working fine for listening to music and taking pictures. on several occasions when hiking above 12000 ft elevation my phone battery almost immediately drained and shut down. I am planning a two day hiking adventure through the Mummy Range this coming July and was thinking about buying a Ipod solely for listening to music with. I don't want to waste $200 on an Ipod if it is going to act the same way as my Iphone.
Has anyone else experienced this issue as well with their phones or is it just my phone is old and is acting crazy. Another option I have considered is buying a cheap MP3 player that runs on AA batteries I can change out. Any info will be helpful, thanks for any advice!
