iPad gets super hot but tech support says its normal

[KrayLoN1977]

Anyone have problems with their iPAD getting super hot? I took it to my local apple repair and they said its normal for it to get hot. I have an iPAD2 and It doesn't do this. I thought maybe it was an app so I reloaded the ipad to stock settings and it still happens? Anyone else get this?

What is your definition of super?

My iPad 3 gets rather warm, not too hot to touch, but more than I would prefer......all iPads run rather warm/hot ....

Can you describe "super hot"?

Second. Operating temps on an iPad are from 0º and 35º C which is 32º to 95º F. If the iPad is "too hot" via Apple's definition of "too hot" the device itself will not allow you to use it.

I've seen this behavior when having an iPhone in direct sun while using navigation, while the car was still hot, on a hot day. After 15 minutes with AC, it was back within operating temperatures.

The iPad 3 and 4 run warmer than the 2 did. It's the normal, unavoidable consequence of the device consuming nearly twice as much power.
