Couple of days ago I wrote a blog post about the overheating problem of iPhone 3GS due to its batteries, until then I didn’t experienced it personally but thanks to the London weather in last couple of days (32 degree Celsius), I noticed it well. Then dugged through Apple’s website and this is what I got.
iPhone is supposed to work under these conditions:
- In the temperatures between 32 Fahrenheit to 95 Fahrenheit
- Should be stored in between -4 degrees Fahrenheit and 113 degrees Fahrenheit (temperature in your car when you leave your iPhone in the dashboard, can be exceedingly more than 113F)
Symptoms of overheating
- Temperature warning screen could appear
- iPhone can loose or weakens the carrier signal
- Screen can go less bright
- Your iPhone screen can freeze
How to avoid overheating
- Don’t leave your phone in your car on a hot day
- Don’t listen to songs, use GPS or other use battery intensive apps for extended periods of time on a hot day
- Avoid using your iPhone in direct sun light
These are mostly a common problem with any electronic device. Remember when you are watching a movie or playing a game on your Laptop, it heats up and its fan run faster than usual and when you are using a MS Word, it just keep on running smoothly, same is the case with iPhone, the more you use it on a hot day, it processor will emit more heat and that will degrades the performance of your phone.
