Hmmmm Apple also said the iphone 4 antenna was okay.
Michael seems to think Apple has turned a leaf but it seems now seems the annual faulty product denial is one apple policy which certainly hasn't changed!

What a great idea to deny what has already been proven! Has Apple ever thought that being honest about an issue with one of its product actually makes the company look better to customers?

They will say it's a feature, and patent it LOL

you are holding it wrong .. that's why it's heating ... geez people .. at least read the instruction manual before using a PREMIUM product

you need to update the original article you link to. Consumer reports ran the test and they had multiple units hit 116 degrees while playing video games.

that said, its sad to see that apple still retains its holier than thou attitude about its glitches.. eeeerrr "features". That was one of the things i was hoping would change under cook.

'Customers should contact applecare' where they will be talked into spending more money buying a warranty extended to 2 years to cover the possible faulty product

iAgree with Tim Cook, the real problem is that all other tablets run too cold.

Great piece of report, just like it should be.

With opinion, but not enough that distort the news, like most site out there is inclined to do.

That's clear enough.......Tim Cooks on the iPad, that's why it's so hot.

...Ok after this one, better go to sleep :/

Apple: there is no problem , our engineers tested it in antarctica and it was ok.

I don't believe apple is trying to sweep it under the rug. Every issue like this tends to get addressed in one way or another, and if a software iteration can fix it, it will be issued before long. My iMac was having an issue with disconnecting from Wi-Fi in sleep mode, I had checked almost daily for a software update to fix it. So finally one day (before I had checked for a software update) I called AppleCare and the agent asked that I check for updates. Reluctantly, I checked for updates and it turns out, they literally released the update to fix the problem that day. Apple doesn't like to admit they've made mistakes, but they do well to address them.

My theory is that they like to appear as though they can fix problems immediately. I'm absolutely sure that as soon as they received the first complaint about this heat issue they began investigating the cause, they will formulate a solution, then express that there is an issue that is being addressed, that way when they release the solution, it seems as though less time has actually passed since the problem began to exist.

of course, why not? i have foreseen this kind of respond from apple
the number of F**ks they give to the costumer is as much as the number of books the jersey shore cast read

Lol I think its hilarious when michael heller decides to write an article. its always going to be about apple and its always going to be bias. LOL you're a joke, and I really do hope you don't consider your self a journalist cause you're certainly not.

Just got back from gym... is she dead? that's crazy gurl. I bet she is a lonely child, parent f*cked up, no relatives, no friends, nothing period.

Yes, because Apple themselves said it doesn't heat up, it must be their users hand heating up...

It is a two-in-one device. You use it as a regular ipad and you can also toast some bread on it. That is an extra feature that the very customer-centric Apple has built in.

How is 46 degrees C an issue? Is everyone on phonearena taking stupid pills?

All the trolls here are funny. Apple didn't say it doesn't run warmer. It said it runs within acceptable limits and from what we see it does. It's not uncomfortable and it's not causing issues. You fandroids want Apple to fail so bad. It must suck to constantly read about how successful Apple is and how happy their customers are.

Like it or not, the "Apple approach" to problems rarely backfires on them. Sales and Apple mania continue to increase. Not how I prefer them to communicate but it doesn't seem to be affecting their sales.

Apple response to over heating issue: " You are charging it in a wrong way".......... :)

LOL I'm not an apple fan but this heat problem is exaggerated... I read that the iPad heats up to 35C degrees. My Lumia 800 is perfectly fine and it heats up to 54C degrees when charging and playing/browsing!

I have no problems with heat...
