Yes, the new iPad is hotter than the old one, but there are mainly five reasons why this is so and there is nothing to worry about either. we should worry:
- More resolution = more LEDs to illuminate the screen, so more heat is generated.
- More than double the graphics power means more heat is also generated by having more transistors.
- The battery packs a lot more capacity and wears out faster, so considerably more heat is generated.
- Traditional LCD technology: Sharp's IGZO system did not arrive on time and the new iPad does not carry it, so the screen is less efficient.
It is justified and We must not forget that it is a price we pay because of the super screen that it carries. Whoever does not like it has the iPad 2 for 399 euros, a good price.

The fact is that the gentlemen of Cupertino should have foreseen this situation, but as they always prefer to keep total silence about it, I am getting tired that Apple is less and less interested in our opinion, they only care about the marketing of their devices… ..
It is definitely the last entry I read on this blog. "Whoever does not like it has the iPad 2 for 399 euros, a good price." ... What kind of cocky-fanboy conclusion is that for an article that is supposed to be informative?
To play lawyers, the Phoenix Wright are already there, and if I buy a product (which is not the case) and something does not convince me, I complain to the point of bursting. And if I do not think to buy this product and I do not like something about it, I also shout it from the rooftops. And there if that if, who does not like my opinion screw it ... What you have to read.
"Whoever does not like my opinion, fuck it"
you should apply the story instead of threatening on blogs
If you don't know what sarcasm is to reinforce the above, it's not my problem, and… Threat? Anyway xD
Strongly agree, this is unfortunate.
I am funny about this section 4 reasons why the new ipad gets so hot, STOP EXCUSING Apple so much and that they already make a happy device in conditions that if the iphone 4 fails the home button that if the 4s the speakers that if the ipad 2 the screen barely has quality, that if the ipad 3 heats up, these are just excuses the ipad 3 heats up because it is crap because they have done it to simply get money and like any device that is removed very lightly It has not even been tested in conditions that jo .. what I want is a device to navigate and others not a radioactive bomb in my house ... let's see if we do things right gentlemen / as
Well, after following the official apple forum for 2 days in which they talk about the overheating of the ipad 3, in the end today I have gone for an ipad 2, and I am very happy with it. The problem is not that it just gets hotter than 2, it's that there are a lot of people who say that it gets so hot, that it even becomes UNCOMFORTABLE to hold with the left hand, so when they fix it, I'll buy the new one here. how many several months.
I am not an expert on mobile device screens, but:
- More resolution does not mean more LEDs to illuminate. LCD screens use backlighting to function. The typical ones (CCFL) use a kind of lamps to achieve this. Then came the Local Dimming LEDs and the Edge LEDs (the ones used by almost all TVs, tablets and laptops). The backlight has nothing to do with the resolution, and therefore, it has nothing to do with the increase in consumption. You can have a tablet with 640 × 480 resolution, CCFL backlighting and consume twice as much as the New iPad.
- A battery (the size does not matter), when it is charging, it is normal for it to heat up a bit, but is it discharging? It is normal for the CPU, GPU, etc ... but the battery?
- The IGZO technology, it is true, promises to achieve more efficiency (with fewer LEDs backlighting, achieving equal or greater luminosity), and by needing fewer LEDs, producing less heat. But, the current system of the New iPad is identical to that of the iPad 2, so it is no excuse for the heat.
I think these are nothing more than excuses to defend the indefensible. I think the only reason for these overheating is due to the beastly GPU that they have put in and the LTE chip, which seems to consume a lot. That is, the problem would be a poor optimization of those chips. No more no less.
Solution: go below 45 nm to build the chips. That is to say: double graphic power does not mean more heat if things are built as they should be.
Damn, I do not understand how you defend Apple so much on this page, for the record that I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4, but I am not a freak and if they have screwed up several things then we have to admit it and not be excusing at all times , and for the record that I am a reader of yours but I do not like that you are so freaks
