Following a number of reports suggesting Apple’s new iPad may have issues with overheating, non-profit buying guide Consumer Reports conducted a new round of tests to see just how hot the new iPad gets during usage. The organization ran popular game Infinity Blade II for 45 minutes with a new iPad plugged in and the device’s 4G LTE connection disabled, and it found that the iPad got as hot as 116 degrees Farenheit. Apple’s previous generation iPad 2 only climbed to 104 degrees during the same test. BGR reported on Monday that <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/19/reports-claim-new-ipad-is-too-hot-to-handle/">some users have experienced shut-downs on the new iPad due to overheating</a>, and a much larger number of new iPad owners report that <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/20/apples-new-ipad-heats-things-up-literally/">the device heats up significantly, but not to the point of overheating</a>. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/03/20/apple-responds-to-supposed-ipad-heat-issues/">Apple responded to the growing concern on Tuesday</a>, stating that its new iPad operates “well within our thermal specifications.”<span id="more-132629"></span>
