Hot iPads

So I've been using my mini 4 a few days now. The screen is a delight but compared to the mini 1, it's a bugger to hold. It's so thin now that it's difficult to grip!

I've also noticed it gets really warm whereas mini 1 never did at all. I guess all that superpower it contains does it. Just wondering whether anyone has had any heat-related issues on their iDevices. Apparently, if it gets too hot, it will shut itself down.

I've managed to make every iDevice I've ever owned get warm by performing something demanding on it for an extended period of time. Games are usually the culprits but other apps can do it as well. They can even become uncomfortably warm to the touch sometimes. Never had an iDevice shut down on me due to excessive heat accumulation though.

Deffo get a case on it, and then breath a sigh of relief when you can actually hold it without it feeling like a wet bar of soap in the shower. I remember when first getting my Ipad (4th gen, getting on a bit now) and it was terrible to hold until i got a case for it.

Ah! Getting a case never even crossed my mind. That sounds like a good idea, thanks.
