Some Apple iPhone 3Gs prone to overheating, white units discolored from heat?
June 29, 2009 by dennis
Some recent iPhone 3Gs buyers state on Apple support forums that their newly bought units died from what in human anatomy would amount to be a sudden heat stroke, with some owners experiencing this problem within 24 hours after buying the device.
Twitter is pretty full of those messages as well
Milder cases of this problem included iPhone units suddenly freezing up.
In the meantime a French language website Nowhere Else is reporting based on multiple user reports that some newly purchased white iPhone 3GS units turn pink after less than a week of use, that being attributed to overheating.
Could this be due to the fact that Apple introduced some much more powerful hardware in the iPhone 3GS in the same exact case format as the original iPhone 3G had (meaning no extra ventilation measures were applied)?
It will be interesting to see whether this will become a more widespread problem during this summer and how it could impact Apple’s revenues.
