iPhone 3G Proves to be a Hot Commodity… Not in a Good Way

Because Apple is the only company to EVER have issues with their products? Not defending Apple just pointing out, every hardware brand(not going to say manufacturer, because let’s face it, almost nobody makes their own stuff in their own factories these days, it’s all sub contracted to Chinese factories)has had some issue at some point.

Meh, move along, nothing to see here.

Of course hindsight is 20/20, but what did they think would happen to a device with what is arguably the highest component density in the industry? It has to drive (and illuminate) a color graphics display, it has to operate as an RF node, and it has to process the data in the game/app/function, and manage wireless network protocols. No wonder the damn thing gets hot.

1,

Have you ever heard about paying more for Apple because of the “quality”?

Thats why… something about glass houses, climbing trees too high etc…

This really burns me up…

It’s the new iLight feature. When you’re out camping you can lean your iPhone against a pile of leaves and start a fire. GREAT!

Jobs told his replacement that he wanted a new, really hot phone.

I think Apple user’s need to start realizing that Apple does not make perfect products. In fact many of their product face the same problems that every other China made electronics face. Poor quality control. Apple was only good when it still made its products in the US. Now of course everything is made in the Asian countries. Same as Dell, and the rest. Why we continually think Apple is going to be imune from this is just wrong.

> It was too hot to even put the phone against my face.
Interesting, that’s how I test my stove, coffee, bath water…

Now that 16 people have “commented”, and not one of those 16 being USERS of the iPhone 3GS (i.e. NO credibility or experience in the discussion), I will throw in my 2 cents. I have a 3GS (white), and have not experienced this phenomenon. And I have used the phone while plugged in and charging. Warmth, yes, but not hot by any stretch of the imagination.

I would expect that if one were playing a game which uses a lot of graphics, or surfing the web over WiFi which uses a lot of battery power, all while the unit is being charged, that it would get warm, or even “hot” to some people. Not to say this phenomenon isn’t happening, just reporting MY experience.
