No matter how perfect a fresh Apple device may seem, there's always one niggling little problem that pundits can hop on and sensationalize about. With all the iPhone 4, it absolutely was the somewhat high-profile antenna problem. The first iPad was faulted because of having a camera.
And now, the new iPad is getting some heat for, well, generating an excessive amount of heat! Macbook Pro owners are most likely thinking, "Welcome to my world." But may be the iPad heat problem an actual showstopper or just lots of hot air?
Initial Reports
The fact the new iPad can run a bit hot really should not be a surprise to anyone who's followed the device from the preview stage as much as its eventual release. It is something the admirably impartial ZDNet pointed out during an unveiling event in Tokyo.
Since the new iPad started selling out in Apple stores across the United States, everyday users have been echoing those sentiments. Many report that the new iPad feels appreciably hotter compared to the iPad 2 or original iPad while performing similar tasks.
A Closer Look
In response towards the hubbub, Apple claimed that the new iPad runs "within our heat specifications." That could be true, but thermal imaging tests as well. Consumer Reports found out that the new iPad runs 13 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the previous iPad generation under comparable workloads. Like that weren't bad enough, far more complaints concerning the new iPad are increasingly being created online and off. Hopefully, there's an explanation for this heat kerfuffle, so we don't have to testify to Apple's first humiliating tablet flop.
Genuine
It turns out there exists a rational reason behind the excess heat generated through the new iPad, which can be twofold. First, most of the heat dissipation problem story is overblown. Media outlets realize that if they have the phrase 'Apple' in their headline, they'll get page views and channel views.
So any minor imperfection is blown way out of proportion. Secondly, the heat issue is most likely tied to the fact the new iPad is really a graphics-intensive device. It has 4 times the screen pixels of the iPad 2 and twice the LEDs.
In a few scenarios, the new iPad can undoubtedly get hot. But for the most part, this problem seems to be much ado about nothing.
Final Word
Another thing Apple's especially renowned for is pushing their hardware for the limit. It's the price you spend for delivering everything you feel is the best consumer product for all. Macbook Pros have a tendency to run pretty hot, thanks to their aluminum unibody construction.
Likewise, the newest iPad is squeezing every last drop of performance it can out of its internals. It looks like that can make them a bit warm at times. But it doesn't appear to be impacting sales or more importantly performance over time.
