1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a first temperature sensing device that is positioned at a first location at or proximate to an exterior surface of the electronic device and that provides a first signal indicative of a first temperature experienced by the first temperature sensing device;

    a second temperature sensing device that is positioned at a second location at or proximate to the exterior surface of the electronic device and that provides a second signal indicative of a second temperature experienced by the second temperature device;

    at least one processing device that (i) receives the first and second signals respectively from the first and second temperature sensing devices respectively and generates based thereon an indication of a difference or a relationship between the first and second temperatures, and (ii) determines an operational context of the electronic device based at least in part upon the difference.
