iPhone needs to cool down

Devin Coldeway notes: "I love that it refers to itself in the third person. "iPhone is hot. Go get iPhone a beer. Then you can use iPhone." [Crunchgear]

iPhone is about to die.

Though a possessive pronoun (ie: "Your iPhone...") would have been nice, I'm just thankful that it doesn't refer to itself in the first person. Programs that do that always creep me out.

I love that Devin Coldeway thinks it's talking to him. It's just displaying a notice written by a programmer.

HeartlessMachine knows that third person is the same as first mechanical.

...Wait, is this an *actual* pop-up feature of the iPhone, or someone's gag app?

I'm with Geekman, #3.

The alternative would be having the iPhone refer to itself in the 1st person, which is a little too HAL9000.
