If we get Kasper’s S/N perhaps we can figure out if these phones are from within a select batch or more spread out which may be indicative of a larger, more complex problem.
Any idea where AI is located? The faulty phone was purchased in San Luis Obispo, CA. Im not sure how far spread batches are or if they are randomly shipped to who ever needs them. But were only a small distance from Cupertino, SF and LA so if they are anywhere from these areas its a possibility?
I have a black 32GB that starts with 869236xxxxx. Id wager that the 9 refers to 2009 and the 23 refers to the 23rd week. Depending on when they start that it?s a build at the end of May or beginning of June, which makes sense to me. However, I?m not having a problem so that don?t help at all, but I included it for reference.

The new one starts with 8892498xxxx and was picked up in the same store.
32GB and white, I assume? If so, that 2nd ?8? could refer to the colour or colour/capacity
Yes sir, 32gig and white. It wasn't from a retail box but from one of those replacement boxes which surprised me because no way do they have refurbished ones already.
Expect Apple to find solution to every problem the company encounters. That is what you call innovation, aimed at achieving the highest customer satisfaction possible.
To all you clone bastards, do your own research and stop trying to leech onto Apple's intellectual property to make a quick buck.
i wonder if the black iphones have this issue. I'm sure it would not be evenly black across the phone if it does. It would be great if folks with the black one could look a little closer and tell us.
Please -like how many threads has AppleInsider alone posted on this issue already. And the phone has only been released 2 weeks!
Im sorry but a whole host of posts stating 'ME TOO' does not constitute any proof whatsoever. Even AI have now stated 'we got it too' without any images or proof. So, until these 'others' with discolored iPhones take and post images of their phones it will remain a single incident in France from a website called nowhere else. (ironic)
Lazy reporting is responsible for the original threads. There has even been threads started by someone looking on the Apple site and seeing the 'what to do if my phone is overheating page' and then stating LOOK SEE APPLE HAVE JUST PUT THIS UP' OMFG there IS a problem. However the overheating notice has been on the site for MONTHS. And is no different from the notice regarding the phone getting hot which was issued with the original iPhone.
To test out overheating I recorded a 60 minute video, then played fieldrunners for 45 minutes followed by zombieville for another 35ish minutes. Did the iPhone get warm. Yes. Was it hotter than my Sony Ericsson K770i after a 30 minute call? Nope, not even close.
My serial is 8892312XXXX if anyone is interested. No issues with it.
To top it off I actually thought it would get warmer than it did considering that it was 29c in my office yesterday (I ended up in my shorts and t-shirt and was still sweating) and I have no aircon (Im in Scotland where it is normally cold, even in Summer ).
By the way, the published patent application 20090169977 is just a publication of a patent application. It'll probably take at least a couple of years before becoming a patent (if it does).

One guy had his SIM card melt inside the iPhone. But that was 1st gen iPhone!! So in the end you always have a % of new products have some kind of an issue. It's just getting alot more publicity now, that's all!
What are thoughts on acceptable operating conditions? Obviously, you don't want to leave your phone on the dashboard of your car. However, with both my 1st gen iPhone and now my 3GS, I have kept it with me in some hot conditions - inside my golf bag on a 90+ degree day for example, or when I go to the pool I'll bring a bag with me and leave it in there. I've never had any issues but do you think this could be a problem? I've done this with all phones I've ever had and never had issues but wonder if it would somehow void my warranty should there be a problem.

Same conditions under which you would safely operate any other such device.
It?s all over the place but I think some people really do think it?s the Jesus phone capable of doing anything. Here is how you can tell, fill up your bathtub with water, drop your phone in it, if it floats on top it?s the Jesus phone, if it splits the bath water to either side then it?s the Moses phone, if sinks and dies, then you?re an idiot for doing this test and voiding your warranty.
Apple isn't the only one to have SMS vulnerabilities.
Symbian was hit with one in January.
[…]
But whenever an Apple product so much starts up a second slower than expected everyone's all over it.
This kind of covrage and hand-wringing is happening because it's Apple and expectations are that mich higher. The device can perform beautifully 99 times out of 100. But that one time is what gets the hits.
I’d say that is often true, but in the US Symbian isn’t popular and I doubt that most people using a phone running Symbian don’t even know it. Apple’s vulnerability in the US covers millions of iPhone users. I think if this happened to Blackberries it would also be a very big deal, if not more so, because of potential sensitive business data on the devices.
In any case, even though this looks quite severe, the likelihood of being affected seems quite low.

Hehe, I posted that here by mistake. I meant to post it on the other thread, where it is now.

Laughable.
i've done a little looking around the web and found this blog (pay attention to the dates):

It should be operated within the manufacturers specified limits. Here's the iPhone GS specs:
Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F
(0° to 35° C)
Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F
(-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 95% noncondensing
Maximum operating altitude: 10,000 feet (3000 m)
