Apple iPhones Shut Down in Summer Heat

Some news tell that i-phones get overheated. Apple has taken them gravely enough to divulge the presence of a temperature warning screen for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

A very small number of iPhones have been affected by overheating, some white iPhone 3GSes have allegedly turned pink too.

Apple has issued what some might call a "common sense" warning:, a support document that warns users not to keep the iPhone in an environment where temperatures can exceed 112 degrees Fahrenheit.

Actually using the iPhone in temperatures over 95 degrees can also activate the temperature warning. "Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly," Apple warns.

That will prompt the device to activate the temperature warning above, only emergency calls is allowed while iPhone is locked

Summer temperatures in many locations top 95 degrees

Apple also says that the iPhone 3G and 3GS should not be stored where the temperature can fall under -4 degrees Fahrenheit, or used in less in temperatures under 0 degrees F.

It is said by apple that if the phone exceeds those temperatures the iPhone may stop charging, its display might dim, a weak cellular signal may be experienced, and the temperature warning screen above may also appear

If that happens, Apple says, you'll need to let the iPhone cool down before you use it again, although the phone may be able to place emergency calls during that time.

How long will the cool down process take? It cant be said still
