Overheating iPhone 3GS: Apple blames the weather
Found on Telegraph on Sunday, 05 July 2009
Apple has admitted that its latest iPhone 3GS model can overheat but has blamed the problem on sunshine rather than a glitch with its design.
Apple says that users should not leave their phones in a car where temperatures can exceed the -20C to 45C range that the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS models were designed to function in.
iPhone 3GS users on Mac forums complain, however, that the handset becomes hot when it is not being used in a car.
I was about to suggest selling them cheaper to the Inuit, but then read the -20C limit. Sheesh, that global warming sure turns out to be a pain for Apple. Not that it could be a simple design failure...
