Apple issued an advice for IPhone and Iphone 3GS users regarding the overheating of their devices. According to them, you must use iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly.
To prevent this from happening, don’t leave your phone in a cat or in direct sunlight on a hot day for extended amounts of time. Even using some applications in these extreme conditions can make your IPhone overheat.
If the temperature of the device exceeds the normal operating temperature, your device stops charging, your display dims or you will get a warning screen with the message: “iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it”
You will get this message only when the operating temperature has become too high. IPhone has a safety mechanism that protects the components of your device. When you receive that warning message, you should shut down your IPhone and allow your device to cool before restarting it.
These overheating problems are probably caused by the battery. IPhone is not the only Apple product that has battery issues. In 2006 Apple recalled iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 notebooks and in 2008 recalled Ipod Nanos which caused three fires in Japan.
