It is the vampire of IT
Apple's new iPad retreats from the sun like a vampire. Not only can't you read the screen if an iPad is exposed
to sunlight, it appears that the beast starts to overheat and switch itself
off.
Some owners are complaining that their new Apple gadgets
are shutting down when used out and about. PC Magazine editor Zach
Honig stuck his in the fridge
when he saw the warning “iPad needs to cool down before you can use
it."
The iPad's operational temperature is listed by Apple as
32° to 95° F when on, with a nonoperational temp of -4° to 113° F. Those must
be internal temperatures, though. This problem has been noted on the iPhone before. It
looks like, despite being made in California, Apple can't really handle hot
weather.
However it could also be an undead vampire product which
sucks your bank account dry.
