It's normal that my 10W charger of my Retina iPad mini gets too hot?

I bought my Retina iPad mini yesterday. I'm charging it but the charger is very hot.

My charger is 44°C when charing my iPad 4. So how hot is your charger?

  • When battery charging ,the left of MBP is very too hot to suffer

    when charging the battery of macbook pro(101)that was bought in 2012, the left part of  the computer is too hot to suffer，which is near the range of the connector between the computer and the recharge. is it normal?  what I  worry about is that the component of computer working under high temperature will be less life.

    It will not harm the computer, That is where the dc board is, it can get very hot sometimes, especially since the majority of the heat producing components are near the upper right corner too. If its very very hot, I mean like enough to burn you then maybe there is a problem.

    Do I need a converter in addition to an adapter to charge my phone and ipad mini in France?

    I used my iPod touch power plug and cord in France with no problem.  I did need an adapter to allow me to plug our 2-blade plug into their round-post outlets.  There are no electronics involved in that, just metal pieces.  You can pick those up cheaply online (I just borrowed one at my hotel).  (PS - I live in the US).

  • Macbook pro retina display 15" charger getting too hot... any advice?

    I have had my Macbook pro retina 15" since Jan 2014 and it has been working fine. Just recently, I have noticed that the charger block and the connector to the laptop gets extremely hot as does the actual laptop. I have looked around on the net and most of the discussions regarding this have been on earlier models. The charger block itself is so hot that it emanates heat and is too hot to touch! The plug into the laptop is pretty darn hot as well. When charging, I can't keep the macbook on my lap because it gets too hot.
    I have checked all the connectors and the connections of all bits involved and they all seem good. I have also tried to minimalise all programs that are running.
    Just wondering if someone can suggest anything, otherwise it looks like a trip to the store
    Many thanks in advance

    Bfore you run to the store try this SMC ret, it fixes

    So bring it to Apple for evaluation.  Can you not figure that out by yourself?

  • My Ipod touch 2nd gen. was working fine but when I tried to charge from my PC the Ipod start getting too hot and the screen turn black and doesn't  work anymore.Maybe is burn?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation was working fine until I tried to charge again from my PC,when I connected the Ipod was getting too hot and smelling like burn cable,the screen turn black and doesn't work anymore. any ideas about what happen?

    You can try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    However, from your discription, I suspect that something is broken.  Maybe a dead battery.  In that case. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say.

  • My iPad mini charger works but my iPad mini refuses to charge. What do I do?

    My iPad mini charger works but my iPad mini refuses to charge. What do I do?

    Try a different cable
    Try to clean out the 30-pin/Lightning port on the device using a clean toothbrush (or similar) & blow it out. There may be dust/lint preventing proper electrical connection. The older 30-pin port is much more prone to dust & lint getting inside and it's internal conductors are very small. Clean the port out thoroughly and also the 30-pin connector on the cable.
    Don't charge using the USB ports on the PC. Most PC's USB ports do not supply enough current to properly charge your device. A USB port (or the iPhone's charger) supplies 5 watts of charging current. The iPad Air's charger supplies 12 watts of charging current. Trying to charge your iPad with your PC's USB ports or the iPhone's 5 watt charger is like trying to fill a water bucket (iPad's battery) with a little toy squirt gun (PC's USB ports or iPhone 5 watt charger).
    Instead, use the charger that came with the device and the cable that came with the device.

  • My new 32gb iPhone 5 gets too hot during phone calls. Is this normal?

    My new 32gb iPhone 5 gets too hot during phone calls. Is this normal?

    Mine will get hot mostly if I'm in an area with poor reception.  The phone will juice up the power output to lock onto a signal and will cause it to get hot and battery will drain much faster.

  • My iPad gets too hot to handle! What's up with that?

    I have the new iPad 3, and it gets too hot to handle... Is apple gonna fix that or what?

    There probably is no fix for it. Contact Apple or if you bought the iPad at an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment, show them the iPad and they will replace it if the device is faulty.
    There is no way that it should get to hot to handle - mine barely gets warmer than my original iPad does. Take it back, get it replaced.

  • Does anyone else's ipad 4 get really hot my ipad 2 didn't do that

    Does anyone else's ipad 4 get really hot my ipad 2 didn't do that?

    My ipad 4 gets warm, at the left side, I am confused with it because I am aware that ipad 3 gets hot, and apple already fixed it with ipad 4. Some ipad 4 users can experience it (I searched it in the net because I am concerned and worried with it) but there are all some users that doesn't experience it at all some even used it for hours and no change in temp but my ipad gets warm with minutes of use

  • Will the 10W Apple Charger work with my iPad Mini

    Hello Everyone
    I got a ipad mini for christmas and because the lightening cable and 5W charger don't reach because i have only got one socket accesible in my living room i was thinking about buying the 10W Charger from Western Computers in Cheltnam, Gloucestershire And I Have a few questions about it because it does not tell me on the website which devices it is compatible with my following questions are
    Will It work with my ipad mini?
    Will it charge my iPad Mini Quicker?
    Will it be compatible with the lightening cable my ipad comes with or will i have to get a adapter of some sort?
    Please can someone answer my questions and reply because i do not want to wast my £25.00

    The 10W charger will work on all of Apple's iDevices. It will charge your Mini faster.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Is it normal for battery to drain 10% every hour and phone getting extremely hot

    My iphone 4 (replacement I got during the summer) heats up every so often. If i'm browsing, the side where the sim card is located heats up, pretty much everything I do the phone heats up. But the biggest issue is that my phone drains 10% every hour.
    I have 5.0.0. When I charge my phone, the phone heats up. I never charge with the wall charger. I always charge using USB and my macbook.
    I had my phone charged up to 100%. I made a 10 minute phone call, and sent some text messages, and my phone is already at 91%.
    When i tether to my laptop, the phone heats up.
    Before I got my replacement, I NEVER had any battery issues, i NEVER had any heating issues.
    I took it to genius. And the guy told me that it is NORMAL for battery to be drained quickly. And that it is NORMAL that my phone warms up.
    I even got him to feel how warm my phone gets, and he said "oh that is just normal"
    How is this normal? I don't have any more warranty, but i feel like apple gave me a crappy replacement.

    No, it's not normal.  Turn of whatever is using Location services, based on your description that is my first guess is that something is using location services constantly and draining the battery.
    If that's not the case then some other app is running in the background.
    Restore as new... use the device in the "new" "pristine" state for a day or so, does the issue persist?  If it does, you definitely have a hardware issue that Apple needs to address.
    If it does not persist, then start restoring apps, one or two at a time until you find the one that is the culprit.

  • Macbook pro charger getting too hot

    Seems like the ADP-85 EBT charger is getting unusually hot when I am charging and using the computer at the same time.  You can hold the transformer, but it is uncomfortable.  I have seen a lot of complaints about this.  I will take my meat thermometer and get a reading.  Any thoughts?
    Output rated 18.5v X 4.6A = 85.1 W

    If your adapter "brick" is resting on a soft surface like upholstery, bedclothes or a carpet, it will heat up more than normally because air can't circulate freely around it. Rest it on a hard flat surface, just like the MBP itself.
    The charger will also get hotter when the machine is in use than when it isn't, all other things being equal, because more power is being drawn from the adapter to power whatever you're doing. When charging the battery is all that's happening, the adapter doesn't need to supply nearly as much power, and runs considerably cooler.
    It's also true that the charging process itself draws more power and generates more heat early in a charge, i.e. when the battery is deeply drained, than it does later, when the battery is closer to fully charged. The charging current tapers off sharply as full charge approaches.
    If none of these little explanations seems to address the circumstances at hand or the behavior you've observed, you can always take your machine and adapter to a Genius Bar and have them tested without charge. Just make an appointment first:

  • I have notice that the top left corner of my Imac is getting warm/hot on the back

    just curious if this is normal?

    Yes it's normal, that is where the exhaust port is located. However you can always download and install iStat Pro and then post actual temperatures. Then post the temps and we can tell for if it's OK.
    Your question is very common with many new owners and in almost 100% of the cases there is no need to worry.
