This is great stuff.

Sigh, The Verge. The Entertainment Tonight of tech blogs.
A difference of about 5C (if true) still seems like a lot.
Sure, mine gets a little warmer in one corner when it’s working hard, but that’s all. It gets warmer, never hot. Non issue, nothing to see here, move along.
Of course there’s also the detail of how exactly did someone stress the iPad to get that high of a temp. I’ve done it once since I got it on Friday. While downloading my iCloud backup etc on a charger for 2-3 hours. The dock connector end was noticeably warm, not hot, certainly not uncomfortable to hold. I was at work at the time and by the time I left work perhaps an hour later, with it turned off and asleep in my bag during that time, it had totally cooled off. hasn’t been that hot since and I was using it a lot on set the past 3 days much of it running videos for the camera crew and the stunt team
