Apple’s latest iPad can hit temperatures as high as 116 degrees Fahrenheit while playing action games, Consumer Reports said on Tuesday — far hotter than earlier versions of the industry leading tablet.

Using a thermal imaging camera, engineers with the consumer watchdog group recorded the soaring temperatures as on both the front and rear of the new iPad while playing the graphics intensive game Infinity Blade II. These temperatures were much warmer than the iPad 2, said Donna L. Tapellini, an analyst with Consumer Reports.

Rumors of new iPads heat up as 2012 arrives

(CNN) — You may have just unwrapped your new iPad 2, but rumors are already swirling about the iPad 3.

The always-fertile field of Apple rumors is once again blossoming furiously, as tech observers pore over the most minute tidbits of information to speculate on the future of the market-leading Apple tablet.

While much of the chatter is just that, there are a few details to be gleaned in all the usual fervor that precedes an Apple “iLaunch.”

It was January 2010 when Apple unveiled the “magical” iPad, introducing much of the general public to the concept of a tablet computer for the first time.

“Although it isn’t clear that Apple is intentionally trying to promote an anti-choice agenda, it is distressing that Siri can point you to Viagra, but not the Pill, or help you find an escort, but not an abortion clinic,” the group wrote in a blog post Wednesday. “We’re confident that the developers at Apple want to provide iPhone users with accurate information.”

(CNN) — It all sounds eerily familiar. A new iPhone. Massive sales. Then, an apparent glitch that, while it doesn’t affect everyone, is prevalent enough to irk customers and catch the eyes of tech journalists everywhere.

Poor battery life on the iPhone 4S, released on October 14 to great fanfare and record sales, has been the new model’s Achilles’ heel in the minds of many users.

While complaints about the perceived problem haven’t reached the fevered pitch that last year’s iPhone 4 release saw about its so-called “death grip” problem, they don’t seem to be going away.

There were, of course, the expected number of early-adopter quibbles with the phone: from troubles with new carrier Sprint, to a sometimes slow-moving camera, to limits on the voice-activated Siri “personal assistant” outside the United States.
