Recently a discolored overheated iPhone 3GS was discovered and blogged about on blogs like Gizmodo, Engadget, and PCWorld. I’m not 100% sure, but I do think that the overheating problem is being caused by the iPhone OS 3.0 software update and it isn’t affecting the iPhone 3GS only, it’s affecting other iPhone and iPod Touch devices as well. After updating my iPod Touch to 3.0 I did notice that it got warmer whenever I plugged it in to charge it or played a game. I just did a quick search on Twitter, and it looks like I’m not the only one who has experienced this. I expect Apple to fix this in their next iPhone 3.0.1 or iPhone 3.1 update (which will hopefully be soon!). How has your iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade experience been so far? Do you have overheating problems because of iPhone OS 3.0? Leave a comment below.

Reports of iPhone 3GS overheating problems have been spreading around the net. It all started at Nowhereelse where an iPhone 3GS owner posted a picture of a White iPhone 3GS 32GB which turned PINK on the back due to overheating.

The iPhone 3GS owner reported that he was using the iPhone 3GS’s GPS and 3G connection which caused the overheating and the discoloring. This story has spread on huge sites like Gizmodo, Engadget, and PCWorld. I’ve been reading through the comments on these sites and haven’t noticed anyone else claiming to have this problem. Do you have an iPhone 3GS? If you have any overheating problems please share them with us in the comments below!
