Just got my new iPad. I'm loving the screen and speed but there's something weird about it. It gets rather warm/hot after 30minutes of usage. It has never happened on my iPad 2.
Do you think it's harmless or .... ?
iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1
The best measure to determine whether the iPad is hot or not doesn't require rocket science. Not much of personal sense of feel. Instead, it's how the battery reacts to the device's heat.
(In my course of landing with the current 3rd iPad, I was told by an AppleCare consultant that iPads that operate over 34.6°, they qualify for exchanges. no second word)
Another important piece of advice I Forgot to mention. if you're unlucky enough to get a hot one don't post here unless you want an army of professionals to rip you a new one.
Just want to buy another iPad is the reason and want to stay in touch with the heat issues.
Im in a bus in africa and a guy next to me had one, so on the 1st i booked an appointment with a genius and i'll either ask for an exchange under warranty or use my apple care to replace it.
That's great. I hope it works out for you. Keep us updated as my intentions were not to be overly judgmental or harsh. Thanks.
So to all those in denial at the beginning of this thread... we're 80 pages later. Still believe the iPad 3 doesn't get hot?
I have noticed when I use my iPad 3 it gets hot. When I put it in front of the fan it cools down.
I have the same issue with my 64 wifi, I guess apple should simply design some sort of heat resistant gloves to wear when using the iPad 3.

Well put, I agree. No excuse for exaggerated claims. Millions of users are happy with their new iPads. So then?
Ummm.... You've yet to prove that claims of overheating are demonstrably false as you alleged.
Over to you for more flannel lol!
Re-read the Apple Fan quote you used which relates to anyone with hot iPad problems not just himself, as a result it appears you are criticising anyone who "claims" to have the heat problem.
I just stoped the email notifications!
Have fun with your spamming!!!
GET A LIFE !!!
