Watch for those temperature warning messages on the iPhone
While it’s still not clear whether the Apple iPhone 3G/3G S is suffering from overheating problems, Apple has revealed that there is a temperature warning message that will pop up under certain conditions. When these conditions are met, a message will come up stating:
“Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device to temporarily stop working properly”
So what might trigger this message? Here’s a couple of scenarios:
- Operating the iPhone under high heat conditions where temps can exceed 113 degrees F. (yeah..so don’t leave that iPhone inside a parked card under the windshield ok?)
- Using CPU intensive app while in direct sunlight could also cause temps to rise quickly
- And on the other extreme, try not to keep the iPhone in cold conditions. Don’t store it in a location at –4 degrees F or use it under 0 degrees F.. (so wait.. we can’t use our phones in the cold winter when we’re stuck in the middle of a snow storm? crap).
So what happens if the iPhone exceeds these temps?
- iPhone may stop charging
- Display might get dim
- May experience weak cellular signal
- and of course.. that temperature warning message will pop up
Of course, there’s no mention of white iPhones changing color because of overheating..
