Does your iPhone work outside?

[Ichinisan]

I leave my 3GS iPhone in the console of my truck that sits in the sun in over 100F Texas heat (so temp inside truck pushes past 110F) and my iPhone always mostly works- some times the cell reception sucks when its "ouch it hurts to touch it" hot. I have never seen that temperature screen.

You probably need a new battery already. Heat severely impacts the usable lifetime of lithium-Ion batteries, like those in phones and most portable devices.

Forgot to mention: The time I saw that screen, my phone wasn't even hot. It was some kind of glitch.

Got this last summer with my new iPhone 4. It was sitting on my leg in direct sunlight while I filled out a rental application and used it to look up account details and such. It was probably under 5 mins and not terribly warm outside (San Diego, after all).

that is a real pic? lol

Looks like i am the 6th person checking in from phoenix.

Never had any problems with my iPhone 4 overheating. Haven't left it out in direct sunlight tho.

Damn I never realized how many Phoenicians there are in this forum!

I had an old Dare from VZW that did this when it was 90+ degrees out. I hated that POS.

Oh, yeah. You still have the option to make an emergency call when that screen appears.

So it won't be the cause of death when you need to call for help while dangling over an active volcano.

So your family can't sue.
