temple_treefrog Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi Guys, I have owned an iPad (first gen), iPad 2 Wi-Fi and last week upgraded to an iPad (third gen). I have noticed the latest iPad becomes hot after 30 minutes of use. It's noticeably hotter than room temperature and I would guess the unit to be warmer than 40'C. This occurs without the charger being used, with brightness on typical/medium settings. Anyone else noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
44MLX Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yes, I bought the new iPad aswell. It does get hot at the back lower parts, I usually leave it down for a few minutes for it to cool down. But I suspect it may be the battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winlonghorn Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Could it be just the 4G model? Mine is staying quite cool so far. Here is hoping it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
