Don't samsung build the iphone for apple? Or at least supply the majority of the components (screen, memory etc..)
Yes I did exaggerate slightly but most countries would have a winter that dropped below 0'c at some point and unless you either A. lived indoors all winter or B. turned your phone off every time you went outside, I assuming the vast majority of people will break that clause in the warranty.
I can categorically say I've used all 9 of my phones (nokia, blackberry, samsung & iphone) at sub zero temperatures and none have become faulty because of it.

There is no reason why a phone should not work below zero degrees.
Li-ion batteries are fine at the temperatures, and I cannot see any reason why the rest of the components could not be used below zero degrees c.

This isn't the point though is it. If it had stopped working then there is the possibility, however remote, that Apple would have refused to repair it because you had used it in conditions outside of it's specifications.
