Overheating problem on the new iPad? CUPERTINO, Calif., March 20 (UPI) -- Some early purchasers of U.S. company Apple Inc.'s new iPad tablet computer are reporting the unit is generating too much heat. Consumer Reports has run some tests using a thermal imaging camera and found the new iPad does indeed run much hotter than its predecessor, reaching temperatures as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit while running processor-intensive games, slashgear.com reported. That's about 12 degrees hotter than the iPad 2 under the identical testing conditions, Consumer Reports said. Apple has responded by saying, "The new iPad delivers a stunning Retina display, A5X chip, support for 4G LTE plus 10 hours of battery life, all while operating well within our thermal specifications. Apple has sold 3 million of the new iPads since its introduction Friday, the report said.
