New IPad heat issue.

Apple doesn't "admit" it because it's not a widespread problem. Test after objective test have proven that the reported problems have been overblown.

That doesn't mean that your particular unit doesn't have an defect that causes it to build up excessive heat, though. What have you done to try and solve the problem? Restart the iPad? Restore it? Anything at all? Have you tried taking your iPad to an Apple Store or calling Apple tech support about the issue?

Hi....Let New iPad run out of charge and then charge from0 to 100%. Do this twice, also turn off Auto Brightness and manually set your brightness at 70% or less. Turn off "Ask to join Wifi Networks" in Settings. Also turn off "Search for Time Zones". This solved my Heating Issue from Hot to Slightly Warm at times. It really worked!

As one of the few people who have actively investigated the heat issue, I can say that I have yet to see any evidence of “cool” and “hot” ipads they all apear about the same. That does not count, obviously, those with true problems, but those will usually shut themselves down and create a log report about it.

Your posts come off as a little biased and angry, so I am not sure how much help you will get. My first simple suggestion is to have all settings (not just brightness) and apps running exactly the same in both ipads then actually measure their temperatures.

We could go round and round on what constituted "widespread", but that will solve nothing. We'll just leave that point alone.

In any case, you'll need to continue to work with Apple on the problem. Since you have tried all the usual steps, there would seem to be nothing else you can do on your end.

Regards.

I have read sporadic reports of iPAD heat issues. My brother just got the New iPAD--I tried it and it did get a bit warm but it wasn't unconfortable.

I just wanted to throw my two cents in here because I am from Canada and I APPRECIATE it when my iPAD gets a little bit warm after I am using it because it is often cold here. In fact I find that a cold iPAD is often more uncomfortable to hold than a warm iPAD and I sincerely hope they don't start making iPAD's colder to touch after all of these discussions!

In the end it seems temperature is a personal issue and the best solution for people that are "warm-phobic" or "cold-phobic" is to get a case.
