Engadget is reporting that the new iPad runs about 10 degrees hotter than the iPad 2.
 But while Apple has plenty of reason to brag about the device’s sales figures, it’s slightly less motivated to be forthcoming about its tendencies to create more heat. 10 degrees more, in fact, according to infrared camera confirmation obtained byTweakers.net. After five minutes of running GLBenchmark, the site used its infrared cam to confirm what many of you have already suggested: the new iPad runs a little hot. According to the site’s measurements, Cupertino’s flagship slab reached 33.6 degrees centigrade (92.5 Fahrenheit), compared to 28.3 centigrade (82.9 Fahrenheit) with the iPad 2.
