5 Ways To Solve Apple's iPhone Overheating Problems

(3) Minimise your iPhone usage, get a second phone

Why not use another phone instead of your iPhone for casual talking? It's the equivalent of using your bike for short distance journeys instead of your Jaguar car.

You can either go for a really cheap model like the Alcatel OT 227 which costs £4.95 when purchased with £10 airtime. Admittedly it defeats the purpose of having your iPhone in the first place but then, at least you will be able to phone AND watch movies at the same time.

(4) Pester Belkin To Come up with an accessory

... Or yo could start a petition. You can expect companies to start shipping cooling accessories for the iPhone. The Belkin iPhone 3 silicone sleeve could be modified to integrate a cooling feature. Sleeves are popular but are not exactly ideal to dissipate heat, which could make worst especially in hot weather. Maybe someone will bring the equivalent of a laptop cooler but for the iPhone.

(5) Mod Your iPhone

Modding your phone will cost you money and will invalidate your phone's warranty, almost certainly. So it is better to go ahead at your own risks. 

GeekTechnique has an old project where it shows how to modify your iPhone's appearance. We have yet to find how you can actually do it though. Furthermore, there has been discussions going on about having an underclocking app for the iPhone and the iPod touch.
