After reports of the 3GS overheating, Apple has published a support document that details the circumstances that might lead to overheating, and what to do if it happens to you. Some of it hinges on the obvious, like leaving the phone in the car on a hot day (what’s it going to do, get colder?), but other parts confirm what other users were complaining about, like using GPS or 3G in hotter temperatures.
