As with all products, popular publication Consumer Reports got their paws on a new iPad.  Besides doing the standard reliability tests with its hardware, it also found something else – heat coming from the device.

During their tests, they ran various tests with apps and games.  During one of the  game test (with Infinity Blade IIwhich is a graphical intense game) the temperature did raise higher then during the same test with the iPad 2.  Finally, the publication said that the device may feel “uncomfortable for a brief period of time” while in normal use.

On another note, they also commented about the iPad’s battery.  Stating the below:

“We also noticed that the new iPad wasn’t charging while the game [Infinity Blade II] was running and it was plugged in. In fact, the battery continued to drain. It charged normally, however, when we weren’t running a game.”

In response to the above, Apple has commented about the Consumer Reports article, saying that the new device’s temperature runs at “acceptable temperature ranges.”

Is this going to be another “atennagate?”  Stay tuned.
