The iPhone 5 is said to be much slimmer than iPhone 4. The consequent closer packing of the components, coupled with the fact that the A5 is a dual-core chip and is thus prone to generate more heat than the earlier iPhones, is believed to have made the task of eliminating the overheating a daunting task.

Pending that, Steve Jobs seems to be in no mood to scald his hands with a hastily released iPhone 5.
