My iPhone is not working and won’t even turn on, I only put it on the charger for less than 30 minutes!! This is an outrage.

My *WHITE* Apple Iphone 3gS also overheated today and the battery ran totally out after a full night’s charge and me making 1 phone call after taking it off the charger.

Miz and Gryphyn have the religion real bad! You guys need to get a grip.

The iPhone 3gs does have two problems. No question.

1. It does overheet badly on high load applications such as GPS. After 20 mins its too hot to handle. Battery drain is realtively rapid at same time.

2. The screen is yellower and gets yellower during use!!

Apple has a history of screwing up on baterries….looks like they have done it again.

What really sucks is that they must have known this and went ahead anyway. Big worry is If they were not aware of it (looks that way) then Apple shareholders should run for the hills.

I am an apple fan…..just.

I don’t believe this one bit. I have an iPhone 3GS and the only problem I have is holding a call on the 3G network and the wifi going in and out. Color of iPhone makes no difference they all have the same inner-parts, so how in the name of God could only the white have this issue? Well because there is another money hungry ahole out there that wants to put a bad taste in everyones mouth when it comes to Apple. Nice try, that is pink for one, not brown and I have heard of such a thing as photoshop. GET A LIFE PEOPLE.

Stop spreading lies about @pple. There is nothing wrong with your iPhone. It is all in your mind.

I’ve got mine to the point that it was extremely hot and mine is just a normal 3G. My newer one hasn’t really done that all that much.

My Pre has never felt this hot, and, none of my previous iPhone ether.

The Pre supposedly has this problem too. Did they use the same factory by any chance?

I actually noticed mine getting pretty hot when downloading an album over wi-fi but haven’t noticed it at any other time.
