About 47C. Enough to burn you.

That's in F, which is about 33C.

If it was C, that would be close to the temperature of boiling water (about 100C).

Note: I'm not saying that's hot or cold, that's subjective. I'm just making sure we're comparing oranges with oranges.

FTA:

>During our tests, I held the new iPad in my hands. When it was at its hottest, it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable if held for a brief period.

Not especially uncomfortable, but still uncomfortable.

And this is under the condition it's for a brief period.

So, not burning, but still, not the best news. Maybe it's a faulty device?

Except for the fact that many people are complaining of similar issues.
