Recent reports had suggested that the pink or brown discoloration some white iPhone 3GS users were experiencing came from the device overheating. Well, a new report from frenchiPhone (Google translation) suggest that the discoloration is coming from third party cases. The discoloration is said to be removable, just wipe the surface with alcohol.
Here are some points from the report:
– After numerous calls to Apple technical service and maintenance of contact with a level 3 (engineer) the problem seems to come not from a hot 3GS but contact with some covers! This was evident by ourselves on a device with a small sticker (a warning not to listen to music too loud) remained stuck, part of the hull below remained white.
– A simple solution to the problem is to clean the back of the iPhone with alcohol, tested by myself I can confirm that it works and reassure you it is safe for your precious
It has not been said which third-party cases cause the discoloration.
