Like a Vampire, Sunlight Causes the iPhone to Overheat and Die, Says Apple
http://www.dailytech.com/Like+a+ ... le/article15587.htm

Now, Apple has at last issued a response and it is assigning the blame for the problem on its users' behavior, sunlight, and on the seasons.  Apple says that leaving the device in a car on a hot day is one possible culprit causing its phone to overheat.  Apparently, like a vampire the phone is no friend of the sun --  Apple states that "leaving it in direct sunlight for extended amounts of time" may cause it to overheat.

Right, isn't it normal for any electronic device?! I first thought it was due to excessive talking time or stuff like that tim.

well.. 'cause ppl have been using the new iphone as GPS device in their cars... which is kindda a feature that the new iphone pushed.

It is the direct sunlight for a prolong period of time that harms the phone, not only leaving it in the car.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm protesting.    You guys have fun with your new and shiny iphones, and you have been warned.

Apple says cases cause iPhone 3GS discoloration
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10282730-233.html

After numerous calls to Apple technical service and maintenance of contact with a level 3 (engineer) the problem seems to come not from a hot 3GS but contact with some covers! This was evident by ourselves on a device with a small sticker (a warning not to listen to music too loud) remained stuck, part of the hull below remained white.

A simple solution to the problem is to clean the back of the iPhone with alcohol, tested by myself I can confirm that it works and reassure you it is safe for your precious.
