The new Apple iPad hits a temperature of 46.7 C (116 F) after 45 minutes of running a video game app while plugged in, a test by Consumer Reports found after following up on user complaints.
"When it was at its hottest, it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable if held for a brief period," wrote Donna L. Tapellini on the website for the consumer product testing and review publication.
The publication ran the test on the new iPad, which hit store shelves last Friday, after consumers complained online about the device possibly overheating and being too hot to hold comfortably.
Apple has not responded directly to the article or particular complaints, but said in a statement emailed to CBC News that the new iPad can deliver its advertised display performance, power, battery life and 4G connectivity "all while operating well within our thermal specifications."
