This is the world's largest iPad forum. If it were a widespread prob, it would've been posted here repeatedly, and it hasn't been, so it's not a problem. If you see a random report here and there on other forums, that doesn't mean it's widespread.
My iPad3 gets pretty warm at times, but its not uncomfortable and I haven't had any problems with the heating up. The amount it heats up varies. At present it is hardly warm. If I'm worried about overheating, I turn it off to let it cool. Let it rest for 20 minutes or so before switching back on. Sent from my iPad using iPF
i just got a refurbed ipad 4 32 gig from apple for 499. i was going to waite for the ipad5 but that wont come till fall.to long of a waite the ipad4 is awesome it super fast. after useing it i dont need an ipad5.people think its brand new and they have 16 gig for 419 now from the apple store you cant go wrong. battery time is awesome i can go 5 days on a full charge surfing the net.
In my oppinion i think Apple has a strong marketing policy in every year ! Its not a large difference between iPad 4 and iPad 3 like iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S. People are confused and everytime buy the last model. Am i right ?
