Apple Support Doc of the Day

By Laurie A. Duncan

In Apple Support Article 60963, we learn the following:

iPod: Can become warm under normal usage

iPod can become warm under normal usage.

iPod and iPod shuffle have many electronic parts that can become warm under normal uage, particularly the hard drive, flash memory, and the battery. When these parts become warm, iPod's exterior may also become warm to the touch. This is normal.

iPod may become warm to the touch when:

  • charging the battery.
  • updating the music library with iTunes.
  • used as an external FireWire hard drive.

iPod will cool down when it is no longer in use.

Is Apple afraid of being sued? Has there been a recent rash of iPod burn reports from local emergency rooms that I don't know about?

Yes, folks, it's a slow news day.
