This is just stupid design. Who the hell dictates under what ambient environmental conditions a person is allowed to use their device? A portable consumer electronics device should have an operating temperature renge corresponding to that of the user.

#17 Battery life (something mac is quite poor at)

It shouldn’t be too difficult to shut down the computer part while leaving the cellphone part active.

When you cram too many functions into a device this small, you have to expect some overheating.

Instead of trying to cram ever more functions into an ever smaller cellphone, how about a netbook with cellphone capability (and Bluetooth earpiece/microphone)? I’d find that far more useful.

You got it, #13 Angel H. Wong. When the Apple turns pink it’s ripe and ready for strudel.

#8 GregA is right.

I tried a Google G1 yesterday in the hope that it is better than the iphone. It is MORE difficult to use, ug.

I would have gotten the G1 if it was equal to the iphone (btw, I also have a Verizon G’ZOne Boulder, which I love-waterproof too).

I hate my iphone G3 because the applications are so poorly integrated. Browser, maps, dialer, sort-of work together. Whatever. I hate Apple, but I haven’t found anything better than my iphone G3 for web navigating and maps.

The white iPhone 3G S turning into a pink one is actually a feature; it’s called the “Apple makes it cool to come out of the closet.”

These people are going to be out over $2000 dollars so they can have the hottest phone around and now they’ve got it. What are they complainging about?

My cell phone is going to cost me less that 200 for one year. It isn’t hot but you can still make calls and you don’t have to worry about getting burned.

You guys have fun.

Non-news since Apple product life is so short.

Not that the stuff breaks… it’s just that as soon as the newest shiniest Apple whatever comes out, the current one automatically becomes an object of scorn and shame, something that no self respecting Apple user would be seen with.

So by this time next year, Apple customers will be excitedly shelling out another $400-$600 for a replacement phone, and the problem will be solved.

Planned obsolescence… the core of the Apple brand.

“If you leave it in the car” Who in the hell are they trying to fool? I’ve never met a iPhone user who didn’t have phone on them.

I guess you need to keep you iPhone 3g PACKED IN DRY ICE !!! Not real ice – that would set off the “humidity shutdown” !!!

It will go down exactly like the iPhone 3g. In a few months everyone will forget that it still drops calls, and has a weaker radio than every other phone. When you try to bring it up on the internet brand activists will cyber-shout-you-down.

This just in from mac:

WARNING: You should only use your mac product on an air conditioned environment with at most 40 degrees F temperature. Failure to do so will void your warranty. Consider yourself told. Steve won’t love you if you bitch at him for this.

The article’s title certainly is trollish.
