Either it locked before and ephemeris and almanac are fresh or your iPhone transcends the laws of physics. iPhysics?

Perhaps some reading would help? On a cold start, even in perfect weather and in the open, up to 30 seconds are needed just to wait start-of-signal. Normal cold locks are up to 90 seconds, with average noise. Perfect conditions, 6-36 seconds, depending of time of day. Cloudy day, between buildings, near a big motor, etc, might lock any time - even not lock at all.

Why always iPhone? Why doesn't someone come and say they have a Motorola that can solve crimes armed only with a pipe and powers of deduction?
