    iPad 3 overheating?

    http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/...ng-apple-says/

    Apple's latest iPad can hit temperatures as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit while playing action games, Consumer Reports said on Tuesday -- far hotter than earlier versions of the industry leading tablet.

    Using a thermal imaging camera, engineers with the consumer watchdog group recorded the soaring temperatures as on both the front and rear of the new iPad while playing the graphics intensive game Infinity Blade II. These temperatures were much warmer than the iPad 2, said Donna L. Tapellini, an analyst with Consumer Reports.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    they never work out the temperature faults in the upgrades. i got the first iphone upgrade and when it plays video it is literally hot in your palm. apples biggest fault is they push stuff out too fast with not enough r&d time put in to solve the faults.

    I've heard of pretty severe heat up, but not overheating (yet).

    Rather than purchase on the bleeding edge, wait to purchase consumer electronics when the product is discounted and about to become obsolete. In this case with the new IPAD 3 now being sold, this is a excellent time to look for a cheap IPAD version 1.


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
