New iPad runs alot warmer than iPad 2

[Selfdestrukt]

Anyone notice that the new iPad is running significantly warmer than ipad2 ... Seems like I can warm my bed up with this new iPad

 

[Spink10]

yes it is much warmer

I figured it would considering the battery size, the screen abilities and the A5x chip capabilities. iPad 3 is doing more work.

I havent handled an iPad 2 for a long time, but yes the new ipad does run a little toasty after a while

Yes it runs warmer but I wouldn't say it runs hot

If you are like me and run the screen at 100% brightness full time, it gets RED HOT in the middle/lower left area within about an hour of continuous use.
Lowering the brightness would likely reduce the temperature..

I have noticed it getting warm from time to time. It's obviously not blazing hot like a MBP and it's not uncomfortable. However, if you use a case you won't even notice. I use a smart cover and when I'm holding the iPad I just flip the cover to the back. No more heat.
