Hello My Fellow Apple Flavored Koolade Drinkers,

In case you didn’t know, there have been some reports of 16GB White iPhone models overheating.

In response to these reports, Apple has issued a support document that warns users not to keep the iPhone in an environment where temperatures can exceed 113 degrees Fahrenheit, including parked cars.  Further, Apple also warns that CPU-intensive applications, such as playing music or using the GPS while in direct sunlight may also cause the iPhone to overheat.

Stay Cool,
