Everything these days in link bait.

Which headline is going to get the clicks?

"New iPad is the best one ever!" Hmm, you can put that right next to "Sun to rise again tomorrow".

Wait, how about "New iPad overheating problem: what you need to know"... yeah, that's more clickable.

Negative and contrarian opinions are what gets clicked, regardless of the source. It says a lot about our society. This is why extremists (regardless of political or religious orientation) get airtime or clicks. Try getting attention writing a blog expressing the views of a normal person. Have fun.

Thanks for the great articles at Apple Insider!

I used some of the info as reference points for an article i just did on my blog.

There's fewer and fewer links I click on, if only because so many of them are "Top Ten Reasons You Will Be Startled By Counterintuitive Stuff We Just Made Up." And then each "reason" is given it's own frame, and you have to click through 10 times to see them all. It appears that at least half the internet is comprised of sites that are purely click whores, with little to no content, and what writing there is having been done on spec for a penny a word by some internet click whore "earn big bucks in your free time" content mill.

I check MacSurfer pretty regularly, but whereas at one time I would have clicked through to skim a few dozen articles, nowadays I rarely check out more than a few. The rest are just transparently bullshit, even from the link title.

But "opening an investigation" into something as silly as "new iPad gets a little warmer"? That's pandering, straight up. A real turnoff.

And "absolute power corrupts absolutely"? What? Are you saying Apple has decided to deliver iPads that seer your flesh and now intends to cover that fact up with evil mind control, so CR to the rescue? What does somewhat warmer have to do with corruption?

There's a kind of cats and dogs things with CR and Apple, as well. CR has always had this "no frills, no bullshit, no bells and whistles you don't need and shouldn't pay for" bias. That works for dishwashers and car insurance, but when it comes to a company like Apple it means you have to pretend like the "whole widget" deal, wherein the quality of the entire experience is what's on offer, is beside the point. If you can't review Apple's products as an experience, and instead are obliged to focus on specs, price, and silly little gotchas, then you're are going to miss the point.

And no, "experience" is not some touchy-feely fanboy fantasy. It matters, particularly in a touch device, what the whole things feels like. How all the parts interact, how the software and hardware work together, what the buying experience and post-pruchase support are like. CR isn't really equipped to take those things into accounts, and anyway would find the very idea anathema.

Let's assume that the old one is 90 degrees F and the new one is 100 degrees F. How much increase is that?

One argument is that it's a 12.5% increase ((90-80)/80)
Others convert to Celsius and claim it's a 21% increase ((32.222-26.667)/26.667).
Still others claim it's a 1.8% increase (converting to absolute temperatures).

In reality, it's about a 100% increase. iPad 2 raises temperature from 70 degrees to 80 degrees (10 degree increase). iPad 3 increase temperature from 70 degrees to 90 degrees (20 degree increase).

(Of course, that's simplified since heat loss is temperature dependent, but it's close enough).

Yea, due to their review I got this butt-ugly graco car seat to save a few bucks. My friends spent a few more bucks and got a sturdier and very good looking Italian one that they said was not that great. Looking at both baby pictures now I regret going with CR.

Got mine on Friday, 32GB LTE AT&T model, and have been running games on it with no heat problems at all. Runs maybe slightly warmer than my iPad 2, but I can't really tell when using them both at the same time if the new iPad runs warmer or not--if it does, it's a slight difference and certainly not bothering us.

Must say the screen is killer! For me, the Retina screen was totally worth the upgrade from the 2, and dictation is pretty handy also. It's slightly heavier but, again, I feel the trade off was worth it and I've been using it 8 hour days. It's faster, easier on the eyes, and does what I need it to...

Consumer Reports seems to be an increasingly misguided publication.

No offence, but this is not science.

I don't know where you are getting these figures from as your explanation is kind of sketchy, but if they are correct all you seem to have proven is that the temperature increase from iPad 2 to iPad 3 is 100% greater than the original temperature increase from iPad 1 to iPad 2. That's almost meaningless (even if true) and doesn't address the issue of whether or not the iPad 3 currently "overheats."

If that's *not* what you are arguing, then what you are saying is even more confusing than I thought and thus unlikely to end the debate.

113 degrees F is 45 degrees C which is the upper limit of the suggested non operating temperature on the iPad page.

There is more to a computer than the processor. Apple increased the DRAM, the display, and the battery, so the device as a whole (the computer) dissipates more power, even if some individual components consume less power.

It's just your typical sensationalist reporting. AI chooses to fan the flames by using the linkbait headline that CR is using.

The 116 is the peak temperature at the A5X location on the back of the iPad. There'll be a temperature gradient from there out to the rest of the device where the surface temperature will be in the 80s and 90s.

When it says 116° F in the story title, one naturally assumes the whole device is at that temperature. Obviously not the case. It'll generally be in the high 80s and low 90s for most of the back surface. If you always has your hand on the 116° spot, it'll probably feel a little too warm. Everywhere else, it'll be ok.

As for being unable charge at while doing something intensive, yes, that can happen. It's only a 10 W charger. The device can draw 9 to 10 Watts while doing something computationally intensive with the screen at a high brightness setting. You can set the brightness to 50% and it will likely charge with the wall charger.

The high power USB port on Macs (8 Watts) can probably manage charging it while it is being used, but it'll hit 8 Watts while doing things little less computationally intensive than max. Turn the brightness down a little bit. 25-40%.

I haven't seen this mentioned but....These are mini Plasmas/LCDs in our hands people. Have you EVER *touched* you HD TV EVER?.. Guess what... They are burning hot, at least Plasmas and LCD.

Follow that with them literally encased in metal and voila you have conductive heat coupled with the processors when pushed. Whose iMac doesn't fell HOT in the back? Whose iMacs don't shut down when running FCP and editing for several hours?....

I mean it's a trade off people. I'm quite sure if Apple cudda put a LCD is previous iPads they would have. Just like everything in life future models will run cooler and longer. Doh

I'm a little confused as the anger directed at CR for this article. All they did was point out that the new iPad gets warmer than the iPad 2 (something which others have reported and which is really not surprising) and they specifically said :

Quote:
"The new iPad is shaping up as the best tablet yet"

and

Quote:
it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable

Why is everyone getting defensive?

They said it is warmer, but that's not a big deal, and overall it is a great device. This is bad?

The same could be said of Consumer Reports itself who for many years has been the pre-eminent source for information on new products.

Personally, I think it's very sad. In my youth, Consumer Reports, like Greenpeace was a very reputable and fair source of information. Both emphasised the empowerment of the people, fought corporate attempts to define the playing field and helped the public to make wiser choices about their consumption and the trade-offs we make for our modern lifestyle.

Both are now a bad joke IMO, have sold out to corporate/marketing interests, and neither seems to have any interest in the truth.

Is everyone on AI so mentally feeble that they don't understand that a bigger battery takes longer to charge? There is no mystery here guys, no investigation is required just a grade school understanding of science. I'm beginning to believe everybody on this forum is a leftist member of the global warming crowd, who never bothered to listen up in science class.

Given the USB nature of the interface they really can't offer a bigger charger.

Grudge, maybe not but they certainly have a mental preoccupation for the company. More importantly they latch onto any negativity with respect to the company that they can exploit for their own gain.

I'm in no way as negative on Consumer Reports as some in this forum but they are not working in the consumers best interest if they start making mountains out of molehills. Beyond that you can see by reading this thread most consumers are too stupid to evaluate what Consumer Reports is saying.

To account for what? I've yet to even have my iPad get hot at all. Keep the screen brightness dialed down and you won't see heating issues.

The reality is if you want to bring state of the art performance, in this case the new display you have to accept that you may have to compromise on other issues. In this case they had to significant enhance the backlighting to overcome the small pixels and increase overall color quality. More LEDs means more power.

Again their is nothing to account for, the iPad delivers what they advertise, they hide nothing.

Why did adding VZW necessitate a change in design? Is the VZW iPhone 4S different from ATTs on the outside? No. That was all an excuse to change/fix the design. They didn't do it for the ATT version because it would've been an admission of a flaw.

That could be the case, but if it really is experiencing heat issues it might only trickle charge the battery so it doesn't overheat.

Because the report isn't about protecting consumers, it is about the promotion of Consumer Reports. Again I'm not totally negative on Consumer Reports but I take this kind of reporting as them getting a bit sleazy just for publicity. Really thing about it when have they considered case temperature to be an issue on Laptops or cell phones. If they had been tracking this issue for some time it would be one thing, but this out of the blue test is nothing but exploitation.

Maybe Apple will update iOS to allow people to control the processing power of the internal chips so it will run cooler when you're playing games that aren't hard on it.

Seriously I've been using my iPad since Friday, doing all sorts of things and have not had a single case of the iPad getting too hot.

It runs as hot as Apple stock?
But seriously, it would be a big problem if the temperature ran above 100° ... Celsius.
46° Celsius is laughable low after playing a game for 45 minutes, you should touch an Xbox or laptop after that.

"Heatgate" here we come. Did you really expect anything different? Now come the YouTube videos of people dropping their iPads because they're too hot to hold. Snarky comments about "holding it wrong" and "frying eggs" abound already in tech forums. Another mole hill turned into a mountain. Let's see how Tim Cook handles this "epic fail" which will surely be declared by some pundit or blogger.

I don't know where you are getting these figures from as your explanation is kind of sketchy, but if they are correct all you seem to have proven is that the temperature increase from iPad 2 to iPad 3 is 100% greater than the original temperature increase from iPad 1 to iPad 2. That's almost meaningless (even if true) and doesn't address the issue of whether or not the iPad 3 currently "overheats."

If that's *not* what you are arguing, then what you are saying is even more confusing than I thought and thus unlikely to end the debate.

So your point is that you are incapable of understanding 10th grade science and 4th grade math?

Sorry, but it IS science - even if you're incapable of understanding it.

Let's see how Tim Cook handles this "epic fail" which will surely be declared by some pundit or blogger.

Ok so Steve "Jobs" made devices that "just work" and Tim "Cook" made a device for "frying eggs"? Makes sense don't it?
