What is going to take for Apple to see it as many consumers have, a roman candle on our laps maybe!

There is nothing wrong with the Ipad you moron.

Where does that say "denied"?????

Apple sucks, but let's get real. It's not "overheating" if the heat doesn't cause damage to parts or affect performance. Referring to a temperature of 100 degrees as overheating is kind of silly. A lot of desktop computers run fine with hardware that reaches over 160 degrees.

Some people have gotten an error message saying that the unit needs to cool off before further use. I would say that's an overheating issue.

its not apple that sucks its you if you notice #1. you cant make any revolutionary devises so ha
#2. is that the back of the i pad, i pod touch, and i pod nano have a type of metal that makes you hand feel hotter than it should worrying you if you think it is over heating you should put it too your face to actually check[/font][/size]

Really? Their forums say otherwise... (I read them for fun sometimes)

[crosswordbob]

Well who'd have thought it? Apple releases a new product; some vague rumours of technical issues surface on their forums; the tech-press go into overdrive, and already the fanboys and haters have made up their minds whether or not it's a real issue.

Sound familiar, anyone?

Question...CPU's in a desktop or laptop could hit such temperatures even with active cooling.

However, wouldn't a battery hitting 101 degrees not be normal?

Electronics are suppose to get hot with usage, even extreme usage. A mobile device that doesn't have active colling is expected to get hot with heavy usage.


However, if a parent would worry if their child had a 101 degree temperature, shouldn't I worry if my device does also when it likely shouldn't?

Mine runs really hot, even when I'm not doing much of anything. It gets very hot if I try to use the photoshop ap - and It froze up when I was rendering some stuff making a movie in Avid for Ipad - overheated. It's not just the corner that heats, it's the whole left side and when it gets hot about half the back is really uncomfy to hold.

I took it to the genius bar (I didn't know there was any heating issue being complained about) and they ran some diagnostics and told me mine was "fine". It's hot though and it's not that much fun to play with as a result.

That's one thing - the other is the colors are not quite right on mine. I complained about my screen having a slightly washed out color saturation, or contrast, or SOMETHING (my vocabulary for color issues not an engineers, to be sure) - a little faded or overcast with a greeny-yellow tint. There are some light leaks around the edge, too. It was infuriating when the Apple store guy held my green-ish screen up to the ipads in front of the store (all of them) and there was a distinct color shift on mine and a greenish tint. HE TOLD ME HE COULD NOT SEE IT (and it was very obvious) but also told me that the manufacturing process makes them all "different". This, the retina display, which is why I bought it, to have perfect true color. And it's green.

They eventually relented and said they'd swap it out, and I guess I will, but I was unhappy to meet someone else at the store having the same problem only worse - a yellow tint and blobby light leaks around the edges. He was the one who told me the color issues are a "thing" on the early feedback boards. So now I know I'm not super persnickety or crazy.

That's your opinion. Right? There

There was nothing wrong with the iPhone 4 either, but Apple spent millions to fix a problem that wasn't a problem...right? What about the Mac's Apple sold without heatsinks and fans that ended up catching fire or not working at all after the transistors melted. Apple then charged people to fix it as if something they did was the issue, until someone sued them and brought to light Apple didn't have heatsinks and fans and that the resulting heat burned the transistors. Not only did Apple have to fix the issue free, they had to refund everyone they charged.

Have you noticed, with every Apple product, the first released items always have huge problems that get fixed and don't happen with later ones? Notice Verizon's iPhone 4 didn't have the same issues as the original AT&T version. Every iPhone and iPod Touch release had issues with the 3G radio, and WiFi radios refusing to connect or holding a connection.

Electronic product are prone to issues it is common. Stop acting like Apple somehow is magically above this.
As the writer stated and I sated in a post in another thread, Dell had a battery recalled that went past 20 different models of laptops.

We have seen stories where an iPhone 4 caught fire on a plane. Another in a guys pocket. Both due to faulty batteries. Samsung also had an issue where a user reported his SGII caught on fire in his pocket. Pictures show it was the battery or faulty wiring leading to the battery.

There are countless stories of laptop catching on fire, including Apple's own Macbooks.
There is a problem is a tablet heats up to pass 100 degrees, if your child said he or she felt hot and u checked an it said 101 degrees and you didn't report it and the child dies later, who fault is it? Waiting until a temperature of 104 like doctors suggest could be to late.

Rule #1 - Never buy a first release product, they are always full of bugs or hardware issues. You can't convince a fan of that because they rather die then to be the last kid on the block with some new device. I know when a new product comes out, there always has to be first buyers who run out and buy them, but it is mostly always the fans.

Because they aren't owning up to the fact people are saying their device is really hot. Thus denial. You know, like they denied the iPhone 4 had issues, then Steve Jobs admitted later that in testing they didn't notice some issues, but his words were "it wasn't a big deal". Yeah it wasn't, but that is why they had a bumper just in case. Yet they never made a case for products ever in their history.

Your comparison is dumb. Those desktops have an active cooling system like a fan and heat-sink that prevents overheating.

The Chevy Volt still has a fan on the radiator to keep it cool, wonder what would happen if it didn't? Wouldn't it likely cause the engine to burn up just like a gasoline powered car? Hmmm!?

You're not holding your Desktop in your hands for hours on end, unless you're a weirdo, but that's another story!

The New IPad does run over 10 degrees hotter than the IPad 2 and it can get rather uncomfortable over a period of time!

I'm no Apple fanboy and I'd never own any of their "toys" but for those who do, they should expect some level of comfort
for the prices that they pay for their purchases!
