An iPad owner who claims their iPad overheats and turns off when left in the sunlight is suing Apple.
Bloomberg reported on Tuesday that the complaint was filed on Friday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. The suit is seeking class-action status and asks for unspecified damages because the device "overheats so quickly under common weather conditions". The suit says Apple's iPad "does not live up to the reasonable consumer's expectations created by Apple".
New owners reported issues with overheating shortly after the device went on sale in early April. PC Magazine editor Zach Honig said on Twitter that he took his iPad out in the sun on a warm day in New York City, and 10 minutes later, it shut down with the message: "iPad needs to cool down before you can use it". Honig said he stuck his iPad in the fridge and it was back to normal a few minutes later.
