Q: My 4s overheats and shuts down

When taking videos my iphone 4S overheats and shuts down after 6 to 10 minutes. I took it out of its case so it's a white naked phone but the heats still does not disapate. Any thoughts?

Well the iPhone will shut down if it overheats .Since taking videos is processor intensive and screen is on , depending on outdoor temperature it might reach it's temperature limit and shut down .

Thanks for the reply stephroll - I understand what you are saying but the phone was not in direct sunlight. It was in an air conditioned environment. Six minutes seems like a rather short time frame for it to reach that kind of operating temp. dontcha think? I think I'll visit the Apple store and have them check it out. Thanks, again.
