iPad mini iPad Mini Retina Warm When Charging

[zbarvian]

So my rMini never gets warm in day-to-day use, but I just picked it up while it was charging and it seems a bit warmer than it should. I don't remember it being this warm during its first charge, and I don't remember a time my old Mini was every this warm (charging or otherwise). Is this a sign of a potential problem inside, or am I overly paranoid? I would like to know what any of you make of it, or how your rMini's are temperature-wise.

Your rMini doesn't get warm from normal use? That's weird mine gets warm after few minutes. Did you compare the temperature on the top back and the lower back of the mini? The top of mini is usually cool and bottom is a little warm because of the battery.

Anyway it's normal for iPads/iPhone to get warm while charging. All my iPhone, rMini and my old mini gets warm while charging too. Furthermore the charger for rMini has been increased to 10W so I think it's normal
