You aren't accounting for improved power sources and shrinking die sizes. The chips become faster and smaller with lower wattage consumption which reduces heat. TDP will get lower and lower.
Actually, that's not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that one scammer posts some mindless complaint and within hours 1,000 web sites have picked it up and spread it as gospel truth, maybe adding some 'expert' comments and pretending that the 'problem' is widespread. Maybe even talking about recalls and class action suits.
Its probably from his brown leather pants or his holster or his pouch or his cheap dock or his pants pocket or his purse or 10000 other things. It hard to believe some people can't figure out they did it themselves.Sorry but, it's from overheating. My friend is going bareback with his 16GB 3GS and the thing is turing brownish orange under the Apple logo (to the left). He's never had it in a case once. It just has an invisibleSHIELD on the front.
Uh, me for one. Cases take away from the innate sexiness and the invisible skins don't feel right. Despite my old 3G's nudity, it didn't gain a scratch last year. If someone as clumsy as me can get away without a case anyone can.
My Macbook Pro also kicks it in the buff and looks flawless.
Am I the only person whose chrome area on the front of the phone gets scratced to hell!!??? Particularly the top edge? I had my 2G constantly in various different cases from day 1, and it still ended up scratched and had little gauges. This time, I'm going without a case for my white 3GS, and low and behold...the chrome is already scratched up again. It's not like I put this in my pocket near change or keys or anything. I was thrilled back when the rumor of the non-chrome front was posted. But, here it is again--scratched.
Does anyone else also think there is a wider gap between the black screen edge and the chrome? I can easily fit my fingernail in between. I have a 3G screen crystal screen cover on it, but I still notice lint and crap getting stuck in the edges....that never happened on my 2G, and it's getting annoying.![]()
And in a related news story, a man from Iowa has made bold clams that his new iPhone 3GS smelled like crap! The resulting press and Apple haters had a field day with this news! That was, until it was later reported that the man was actually using his iPhone to wipe his ass... The man stands by his claim and says it still shouldn't smell that way!

The chrome is very soft and will always be scratched. Nothing you can do about that. Cases will scratch it as well.
That would also explain the brown stains...
Lordy. What sort of fascist state do you live in?![]()

OMG... Why are you even trying to explain these things to people?
EVERYTHING can and will scratch!
Paint, plastic, metal, wood, vinyl, leather, glass, sandpaper, diamonds, the surface of the moon....
Everything else.. Will scratch!
Why is this such a surprise to people? Have they never owned a new car and within hours, days or weeks (if your lucky) you start noticing little micro scratches here and there... well big news flash they multiply with time and use.... Okay... I've actually got three things that won't scratch or if they do it will not be detectable.
- Liquid
- Gas
- Plasma
- Carbon Nanotubes, Nano-particles and/or Buckyballs.

jesus, it's a phone it's going to get scratched. I keep mine in my pocket with no case and it looks brand new. Just don't put nails and tacks in your pocket.
How's about, staples & rivets... you didn't say anything about staples & rivets so they're okay right?... oh and what about my jacks (I lost the ball ages ago) but I can't go without those great little pointy jacks. Sometimes I put one in my hand a squeeze REAL hard and ya know what? It HURTS, ALOT! Then after a few days pass, I forget how much it hurt so I try it again and guess what??? YEP It still hurts ALOT, well anyway I gotta carry those! Oh I almost forgot, my steel ball bearing collection, the sun doesn't rise if those aren't clickity-clacking when I walk down the stairs of my folks house.... /head-smack
beautiful products dont deserve ugly cases thats the reason to go naked
Once again annoying problem after spending all that money on a phone and it discolors... I'll wait another year (maybe the next generation will be better). So now your stuck on a sh**ty phone contract with a terrible company and with a over rated phone that over heats and discolors, battery could be better, still no MMS or teathering! but at least your phone shows less finger prints!!!!!![]()

Don't kill the messenger. I'm only providing an answer to someone who is apparently so ignorant of simple, common-sense things that they bitch and complain.

Ummm...ok, I realize that and I wasn't asking for an explanation. I just happen to think the chrome is the only stupid, tacky looking feature on the Iphone, which looks even tackier once its already hacked up after 2 days. I'd rather see the white or black casing go all the way to the glass or just have it be a black piece. It's just surprising to me that they stuck with that design. In fact, between the chrome (again) and the new larger space between the glass and the edge, I think it's pretty ghastly and feels weird to the touch. I just put mine in a blue Griffin Wave case today, not because I'm afraid the phone will scratch, but because the blue edges cover the chrome and I'm no longer blinding myself when I pull it out of my pocket.
ahh hahahahahaha
