And here is something else to watch out for. Our last word in business today is baked apple. Apple computer has issued a heat advisory for some of its iPhones. This comes after reports that some iPhone models, the 3G and the 3GS, have overheated. Apparently, some have actually gotten sunburned, with white iPhones turning pink. More often, the phone just malfunctions. So now Apple is telling owners to keep the phones in places where the temperature is below 95 degrees. That means you shouldn't leave your iPhone in a car parked in the blazing sun. And if you're going to a baking beach this summer or playing golf on a sweltering day, you may want to leave your iPhone at home.
And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
