BurnIn is codename for a tool used by Apple. Nothing is really known about it, but somebody on Hackint0sh got their iPhone back with BurnIn on it, suggesting that it is a diagnotstics or a repair tool.

What it does

An anonymous source has informed me that this is how it works. Apple restores a special firmware to the iPhone, but it is based on a regular firmware. At boot, /AppleInternal/Applications/SwitchBoard/BurnIn.app/BurnIn will run. It checks /AppleInternal/Diags/purpleskank/config.plist for configuration information, such as version (1.3.0 in this case), where to store the logs (/Library/Logs/BurnIn/ in this case), what level to set the backlight to, and also, some kind of cleanup script is defined (/AppleInternal/Diags/Utilities/burnin_cleanup.sh). What it actually does is still not known though. Two log files are also left by it, by doing whatever is done. They are /Library/Logs/BurnIn/burning_log.xml and /Library/Logs/BurnIn/burnin_log.txt.

BurnIn on iPod touch

The day of the launch, numerous iPod touches shipped with BurnIn on it. In order to get it off them, you just did a restore. A few of these were sold on eBay.
