iPhone 3G and 3GS get hot?
iPhone 2G users rejoice, your iPhone does not overheat. Apple has released some guidelines for 3G and 3GS users warning of potential overheating. From Apple:
Operate iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly.
Store iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in a place where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.
If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures, you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:
* The device stops charging
* Display dims
* Weak cellular signal
* Temperature warning screen appears with the message "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it" (see image below)
While most of this is obvious, at least Apple has some guidelines for it. Those of you who live in colder climates finally have something over people who bask in sun all year round.
