"The new Apple iPhone 3GS is hot. So hot, in fact, that Apple has built in a kill switch that won't let you use it once it hits 113 degrees.Reports began circulating online last week that the latest iteration of the iPhone got noticeably warmer than its predecessors. And photos popped up on a French tech blog of iPhones so hot their white exteriors were glowing pink.
Then two respected American tech reporters confirmed the rumors were true -- because it had personally happened to them.
"At some point, I became aware the handset had become very hot," wrote PC World's Melissa J. Perenson on Friday. "Very, very hot -- not just on the back, but the entire length of the front face, too." "One does not ... expect to reach under one's pillow and find an iPhone that passes for a handwarmer," wrote her colleague David Coursey on Monday (FoxNews)."
People made a big deal out of this new phone coming out, but it sounds like it is more trouble then it is worth. I try not to buy things that are "bran new", because I always feel like there is a ton of problems when a product first comes out. Anyways, felt like this was a good heads-up don't buy till they correct this problem....
