116 Degrees is Pretty Hot for iPad
Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 5:49PM Hotter than previous versions is what many are saying about the new iPad.
Consumer Reports found that Apple's new tablet racked up temperatures of 116 degrees Fahrenheit (47 Celsius) after 45 minutes of running an intense action game, up to 13 degrees F hotter than the previous model under similar conditions.
With tests using a thermal imaging camera, it ascertained that the front and rear of the tablet could run 12 to 13 degrees F hotter than the iPad 2.
The new battery is almost 70% bigger than pevious versions and that has to be the, or part of the reason for the heat.
The iPad 2 had a 25 watt-hour battery while the new iPad's battery has a capacity of 42.5 watt-hours, according to a tear-down analysis by iFixit.
