Apple iPhone 3GS overheating?


I don't have a iPhone myself so I can't really tell you if it's I had one that was overheating or whatever. But I do have friends who have a 3GS and they love it. They never once come across an overheating problem. They just tell me how much faster it is and how much 'more' they love their iPhone. By the way, great way to rub it in guys.
But in the article I read, I guess there have been cases of overheating iPhone. Sounds kind of crazy because when I think of overheating I think of a car having smoke oozing out of their hood on a hot summer day. But hey, I guess it happens on phones too? As Melissa J Perenson said, "very, very hot. Toasty doesn't even describe how surprisingly hot it got. It was too hot to even put the phone against my face." Too hot for the face? Toasty hot? Sounds pretty extreme huh?
When in use, Apple said you need to keep your iPhone between 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit or face possible performance issues. "Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly."
Other issues that might arise include the device stops charging, the display dims or a weak cellular signal. You also might come across a temperature warning.
Apple's document said if you see the warning you need to let the iPhone cool down, though you might still be able to make emergency phone calls.
