Apple to Release a Revised iPad to Fix Overheating Issues (Report)

Shortly after the launch of the New iPad, consumers started complaining of overheating issues and battery drainage, Apple has attempted to identify the source of the problem which was the processor and the dual LED backlight.

Two reports said the Apple is currently working on a new iPad, in which it will fix the overheating issues. DigiTimes, one the most famous and widely unreliable Apple news source, mentioned that the fruit company is working on a small revision to the new iPad by using a re-worked battery and an enlarged lens hole.

The sources said the new iPad’s battery is being revised, which will help prevent overheating issues and could possibly make the device slightly lighter and thinner than previously designed. However, no comments were offered as to why the lens is being enlarged

Another report mentioned that Apple is working on using a single LED backlight  to reduce overheating issues.The current iPad features a dual LED backlight to illuminate pixels on its Retina Display. The Dual LED bar uses additional power that adds to the heat issue.

The extra LED is reportedly adding to overheating and that using one LED will help solve overheating issues since more backlights along with more power to heat those backlights is causing overheating.

Sources claim that the one LED backlight module won’t affect luminosity and clarity of the Retina display. DigiTimes mentions a report by the Chinese-language Apple Daily claiming the upgraded iPad will also feature power-efficient IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) panel made by Sharp.


The revised devised is rumored to arrive this summer.
