黄牛集合苹果店进行退货​

　　可能多数黄牛党们自己都没想到，新iPad上市后销量会如此的惨淡。事实正是如此，目前国内多个商家都反映称，新iPad（水货）虽已大批到 货，但根本卖不动。如果你认为这是商家炒作的话，那就错了。今天，有国外网友爆料称，苹果纽约第五大道旗舰店，有大批华人携带一兜兜的新iPad，这不是 发售之日的抢购盛举，而是砸在手里的黄牛们纷纷前来退货。
　　目前，新iPad上市时间还不到一周，这么多黄牛拎着大包小包，集体前来退货的场景，可谓是首次。

[TD="align: left"] 　　3月22日消息，上周末是新iPad的发布日，其以强大的硬 件配置和性能提升赚足了眼球，但在刚刚上市的一周时间，暴露出了很多问题，新iPad也被指只有量的改变，没有质的飞跃。在美国纽约苹果店甚至出现现黄牛 党集体退货现象，进一步显示出，苹果的魅力正在逐渐消退。

　　 新iPad Wi-Fi信号不给力 果粉怨声载道

　 　据国外媒体报道，一些用户报告称，新款iPad的无线接收性能比以前的iPad好得多。但是，在苹果技术支持社区网站上，几十个用户发帖子称他们的新 iPad遇到了Wi-Fi连接的故障。许多人报告称，以前能够接收到很强的Wi-Fi信号的地区现在信号很弱，甚至根本就收不到。

　　一些用户还把新iPad与自己的iPhone或MacBook Pro接收Wi-Fi信号的情况进行了对比。他们说，在其它苹果设备能够接收到很强信号的地方，新的iPad接收的信号很弱或者没有连接。

​

　　一位网名为“gdtobm”的用户称，他上周五在百思买购买了一台新款iPad并且遇到了Wi-Fi连接问题。他在周五晚些时候去商店退还那台有问题的iPad并且换了一台新的之后,接收Wi-Fi信号就没有问题了。

　 　还有一位网名为“Andrew Mclaughlin2”的用户在苹果论坛上发表一篇文章，对比了新款iPad与第一代iPad和iPhone 4S的性能。他在Speedtest.net网站进行的测试表明，第三代iPad的吞吐量只是其它设备的一半.(出处：凤凰科技)

[TD="align: left"] 　　 新一代iPad被指“过热”

　　美国苹果公司新一代iPad虽然掀起一股“苹果热”，但一家权威消费者杂志认定这款平板电脑有点“过热”。

​

　　美国《消费者报告》２０日发布对新一代iPad的初步测评报告，认为产品配置新处理器后散热问题较以前严重，玩视频游戏情况下温度最高为４７摄氏度，相同条件下比二代iPad高８摄氏度。

　　“这确实比先前产品更热，”《消费者报告》发言人詹姆斯?麦奎因说，“消费者需要留意，我们没有说这是一款危险产品，但４７摄氏度会让人略有不适。”

　　美联社报道，《消费者报告》长期致力于产品质量测评，所发布的独立测评报告会对产品销量产生不小影响。杂志社打算继续测试新一代iPad，５天后发布最终测评报告。

　　苹果公司不作回应。根据这家企业在《消费者报告》发布报告前发表的声明，新一代iPad运行“符合（苹果）公司的散热指标”。（出处：新华网）

[TD="align: left"] 　　 用户称新iPad运行大型程序时无法充电

　　在用户反应了其在进行游戏时过热的问题，而最近又有果粉曝光了全新iPad在运行一些大型一点的程序时无法进行充电的问题。根据一家名为Gizmodo的科技网站报道，许多全新iPad的用户都遇到了这样的问题。而经过该科技博客的验证，发现这个问题是确实存在的。

​

　　有专业人士分析，出现这样问题的原因其实是由于苹果 全新iPad的各种附加功能导致了处理器负载过大。报告显示，除了全新iPad的视网膜屏幕以外，其四核的图形处理器以及背光灯的耗电量是iPad 2的两倍。所以，在一般的情况下，苹果全新iPad是可以正常充电的，这也说明了苹果电池本身不存在什么问题。但当运行大型游戏和应用的时候，其处理器和 高分辨率的屏幕功耗会超过充电器10瓦的功率，从而导致无法进行充电。

　　而专业人士也提供了解决的方法，那就是用户可以采用功率更大的充电器，比如说苹果Mac Book Air的45瓦MagSafe电源适配器，当然，这无形中也为全新iPad增加了一些本不必要的附加成本。（出处：手机中国）

　　新iPad开售之后，各路媒体人就从不同方面将其和iPad 2进行对比，比如显示屏、网络速度、运行温度等等。日前国外媒体又放出了这两款设备的抗摔对比视频。

​

　　从测试视频中我们可以看到，全新iPad由于机身较 iPad 2更厚更重，所以在进行正面朝下的抗摔测试时其，“受伤”比较严重。当两款设备都是正面朝上进行抗摔测试时，没有明显的受损迹象。但是当进行到第二次正面 朝下的测试时，全新iPad的屏幕几乎都要脱落了，受损程度很严重。（出处：威锋网)

　　苹果新iPad现在真的是“炙手可热”，不仅因其刚刚上市热度未减，更因为散热能力太差，使用时很“烫手”。​

　　今晨美国《消费者报告》发布消息称，检测发现，新iPad在运行视频游戏或下载文件时，机身温度最高可达116华氏度（约46.7摄氏度），在玩45分钟游戏后，机器温度又升至47摄氏度，较上代产品高了8摄氏度。​

　　《消费者报告》测试员唐娜·泰普利尼称，“当机身温度达到最高时，会明显感觉很热。”据了解，《消费者报告》本来定于今晨发布测试报告，不过仅发布了一条消息，测试报告已推迟到周五发布。​

　　●坊间反应​

　　论坛“散热”果粉盼修复​

　　第三代iPad自上周五开售以来，不少果粉在网上反映散热不好，导致机器温度过高。果粉称，在特定条件下，比如玩游戏时，设备会弹出一个对话框，要求用户暂停使用，等待机器降温。​

　　法晚登录苹果论坛发现，截至今天凌晨4时，网友反映新iPad过热的留言长达22页，访问量高达29596次，回帖数326个。​

　　网友Paranoid-Android称，自己的新iPad运行时就很热，虽然不是极热，但也热得很不舒服，希望苹果能修复这个缺陷，否则他想退货。​

　　网友“fayu”称，自己是苹果的忠实粉丝，刚将旧iPad换成新版，但却发现用了15分钟左右就开始发热，最后热到自己不能再握着它。他认为，苹果公司应该为这个问题做点什么。​

　　另据荷兰科技博客网站Tweakers.net通过对比新iPad与iPad2的热影像发现，新款iPad的运行温度要比iPad2高出大约5摄氏度。但是这些测试结果也不完全一致，因为数据取自处理器所在的“热点”位置。​

　　●苹果回应​

　　自称很“cool”产品达标​

　　针对苹果论坛上的一片抱怨声，苹果公关部门在一份声明中称：“新iPad配备了极其出色的Retina屏幕、A5X处理器，新iPad的运行温度符合我们的温度标准，如果用户有任何担心，请与AppleCare取得联系。”​

　　苹果公司新闻发言人Trudy Muller称，新产品很“cool”，温度在合理范围，因为它的零部件都符合标准规格。​

　　●对比发现​

　　超标12摄氏度 新品难称“更节能”​

　　不过，法晚登录苹果官网发现，官方声称的正常运行温度在32-95华氏度之间，也就是在0-35摄氏度之间。通过比较，苹果官方宣布的最高温度和美国《消费者报告》的检测温度仍相差12摄氏度。​

　　业内称，如果苹果新iPad温度比旧iPad温度高的消息被证实，则与苹果此前在新品发布时宣称的“更节能”理念相矛盾。​

One Week After New IPad '3' Release Date, Unsatisfied Buyers Sending Tablets Back To Apple

Less than one week after Apple released "the New iPad," aka iPad 3, unsatisfied buyers are already returning their tablets to stores and sending them back to the company.

Apple released the New iPad, to great fanfare on March 16, selling hundreds of thousands of tablets in the first day of sales alone, and earning rave reviews from purchasers who love the retina screen, streamlined features, and sleek appearance of the New iPad.
But the honeymoon was short for some users, as a string of online postings indicate that a range of drawbacks have people rethinking their decisions to lay down hundreds of dollars for the shiny new device.
Some of the biggest complaints come from people who already have an iPad 2, and feel that it wasn't worth the investment to upgrade.
Take macrumors.com user ghatotkacha, for instance, who tells the story of his short-lived infatuation with the New iPad in a forum on the website:

"I got caught up in the hype and pre-ordered one (ATT 64GB) too, worrying that I would not be able to get one (last year it took me four weeks to get one, post launch). Opened it up with bated breath and played around with it.. The screen was pretty good, but in everything I compared, i was hard pressed to identify which was the ipad2 vs the ipad3. Then debated hard with the following being the key arguments: ATT does not have LTE yet in Portland OR; Not happy with the longer charge times; No significant upgrade in day-day activites (webbrowsing etc); $$ :-) So with a heavy heart, I went back and returned it."
​

Macrumors.com user magicbrain, who bought a New iPad and was already looking to unload it on Saturday, also isn't satisfied with the device, though he isn't quite as critical as ghatotkacha:

"first time in 2 years the an iOS product didn't sell out ... weird, then again it does feel like ipad 2S ... no real speed bump over 2, just great (and it is great) display. if i don't trade mine, i'll return too."
​

Though the hype surrounding the New iPad's release and the buying frenzy that ensued sent Apple stock surging to its highest-ever levels, a low rumble of discontent among those who pre-ordered and/or stood in long lines to get the tablet.
From complaints that the device gets too hot during use, to anger about the high cost -- both monetarily and in data used -- of running 4G LTE on the device and impatient responses to the New iPad's longer battery-charging time, there is trouble in paradise for Apple, which has for years been able to avoid much criticism for its game-changing technologies.
Still, most comments about the device continue to be highly positive, especially for iPad virgins like macrumors.com forum poster gorskiegangsta, who has no complaints:

"As a first time iPad owner, I have no desire to return mine (64GB Wifi-Only, Black). Loving the hell out of it To an average iPad 2 owner, however, there's really no incentive to upgrade."
​

Apple will definitely be able to ride out this wave of criticism, but Tim Cook can't be too happy to be seeing a wave of people returning brand-new iPads a week after they were purchased.

New iPad: Some users report WiFi connectivity problems


View Photo Gallery —  Apple launched its third-generation iPad in the U.S. and nine other countries March 16. Many customers lined up for hours, some even for days.

By Sarah Halzack,


<article> A lack of wireless connectivity to the new iPad could be a major roadblock to using the device to its fullest potential.
Now, some customers have taken to the Apple Support Communities Web site to say that they are experiencing this very problem. Many of the commenters on the thread say their new iPad does not get a strong wireless connection in places where their smartphones, laptops or other gadgets have no trouble receiving a signal.

  Apple is infamous for the control it exercises over its image — especially its retail stores. Customers often know Apple stores at a glance, since the company’s storefronts often employ the same stark, simple lines as its products while also reflecting the character of their surroundings.

A feature-by-feature look: A roundup of reviews of Apple’s tablet computer, which hits stores on March 16.



<article> Here’s an example of a typical comment in the thread, lightly edited for grammar and clarity: “My third-generation iPad has much worse range than my iPad 1. In the two places I use it most — my driveway and down the hall at work — I have solid connections for iPad 1, iPhone 4s, and Macbook. New iPad? Nothing. Not a thing.”
Some commenters pledged that they’d be returning the tablet based on their difficulty in reliably obtaining a wireless signal.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
This is not the only criticism Apple has received over its new iPad. Some users have also said the gadget becomes very hot during use.
However, nonprofit group Consumer Reports said Wednesday that even when the iPad “was at its hottest, it felt very warm but not especially uncomfortable if held for a brief period.”
And Apple spokeswoman said that the new iPad was “well within our thermal specifications.”

[h=1]New iPad complaints pile up[/h][h=2]In the week since customers have gotten their hands on the new iPad, complaints have piled up. Owners have said Apple’s newest tablet overheats, has WiFi connectivity issues and takes a long time to recharge, to name just a few of the problems.[/h]

More fragile than iPad 2
Warranty provider SquareTrade conducted a drop test on the iPad 2 and the new iPad and found that the newer tablet suffered more damage when dropped from waist and shoulder heights. SquareTrade said the new iPad's screen shattered and "almost popped off," while the iPad 2's screen just shattered.

Takes too long to recharge
PCWorld has tested 43 tablets and found that the new iPad needed the most time to completely juice up its battery. How long did it take? Almost six hours, the magazine says.

"WiFi-gate"
Since the launch of the new iPad, some customers have been complaining about WiFi connectivity on Apple's new tablet, Gizmodo reports.

Runs hot
After buying the new iPad, some customers noticed that Apple's latest tablet had a heat issue. On March 20, Consumer Reports released results of its heat tests that it conducted on the new iPad. The magazine found that the heat of the new iPad tablet reaches temperatures of around 116 degrees -- about 13 degrees warmer than the iPad 2.
Chris Ratcliffe / Bloomberg News

Heavier
The new iPad is a couple of ounces heavier than its predecessor, the iPad 2, which won’t make a difference to most folks. But if you carry your iPad a lot, or like to hold it with one hand, you may notice the extra weight. It’s a small tradeoff for better battery life and a better graphics processor, but is worth noting if weight is an issue for you. The battery lasts a long time after you charge it, especially for a 4G device.
George Frey / Bloomberg News

No Siri
Many people were expecting Siri on the iPad. But while the voice dictation feature that has been added to the tablet is quite good, users are lamenting that they can’t tell their iPad to schedule appointments, conduct Web searches and note reminders for them.

Sucks life out of data plans
There have been reports that the new iPad quickly eats up data plans. USA Today's personal tech writer Edward Baig said that "less than 24 hours after purchasing" a 2GB plan for his new iPad, he received a message saying that he didn't have any data left in the plan.
Scott Eells / Bloomberg News

Storage
The HD display on the new tablet is great, but has also required a boost in the sizes of some apps. Just note before buying that you may not be able to carry quite as many apps as you have in the past.

No LTE Facetime
The inability to use Facetime over cellular networks has vexed Apple users in the past, and seems to be even more of an annoyance on the 4G iPad, since the network is so fast.

wow ipad3? OK i have not even seen the specs of the ipad2 or ipad3 but seriously if you own the ipad2 why the fuck do you need the ipad3? Seriously it has nothing to do with technology at all but just being cool and hip and up to date. That's it.

You get an ipad3 right now you're paying that extra money to be hip! You are just like that person that paid 12k for some birkins bag when you can easily buy some fake prada for 100x less. So pls let's put aside the technological aspect when you're buying some new apple product. You're going into fashion territory when you buy new apple products which justifies them charging an arm and a leg when you buy them. Does anyone complain when they buy some prada bag for eg of the high price?

 

[Kinana]

Thicker ipad will mean more trapped heat. Thats why its much hotter.

 

[eErotica69]

... and for those who have already bought the New Ipad, I dunno why they complain that it is not worth it comparing to Ipad 2.

Reason being:

1. Nobody force them to be the first ones to buy
2. they could have done research and comparison before buying it.
3. Whatever Specs, Apple has advertised it upfront.

So is their choice and they should quit complaining!

Steve Jobs must be laughing his ass off in heaven

昨天美国爆炸的iPhone4​

　　昨天，一则发生在美国的iPhone手机爆炸的新闻，借助互联网和微博等媒介，迅速成为一条爆炸性新闻。 　　为什么这么多人如此关心这个并未产生严重后果的事件？ 　　因为我们身边的很多人，和新闻中那个美国女士一样，每天和苹果手机几乎形影不离。 　　无可否 认，iPhone是全球智能手机的先进代表，有着绚丽的屏幕和先进的智能。白天我们用它打电话、聊天、发微博、看电影……所以电池消耗很快。晚上，我们在 临睡前插上电源，让它整夜充电，为了半夜熟睡中有突然来电时能够伸手抓起，我们一般会把它放在床头，甚至枕边…… 　　所以昨天，我们尽可能多地为大家搜集到关于iPhone手机事故的信息，每一条消息我们都竭尽可能地核实到权威出处。

　　所以，以下这些信息谨供大家在今后使用中参考和借鉴。 　　另外，我们还做了一个iPhone在充电和使用中温度升高的小实验，总结了对智能手机充电的8条建议。 　　我的iPhone手机 　　在床头“嗞嗞”作响 　　本周三早上6:30，美国科罗拉多州一位51岁的女性被自己床边“嗞嗞”作响的iPhone4吵醒，她惊慌地发现自己这只iPhone4手机正在冒烟。

杭州袁先生的iPhone4​

　　“我习惯把手机放在床头几上充电，因此当时正在充电的手机距离我头部仅仅一英尺(约30.4cm)，房间里都是烧着的塑料的那种腐败的气味，还能听到嘶嘶声和一点点小爆破声，我看到手机表面已在裂开，立时吓醒了，用电脑包把它包起来扔进了卫生间的水槽。”
　　她还注意到，房间里的烟雾警报器没有响，她叫电工来检查电源插座，也没有发现问题。 　　这位不愿 透露姓名的女士将这一消息爆料给Mashable(一个互联网新闻博客，于2005年7月创办，它是世界上访问量最多的博客之一)，她称自己已向苹果公司 报告此事，但苹果方面用空洞的官方辞令进行了推诿，并没有承认这起事故是他们的责任，而且还拒绝向公众说明这件事。 　　“公司回避这样的事故我可以理解，但我希望他们明白这曾经威胁到一个消费者的生命，我认为这样的事件应该公开。”

去年巴西莫塔女士自燃的iPhone4​

　　她表示，希望苹果能够作出以下措施：在每个iPhone上进行标签警示如“靠电池供电的产品有爆炸危险”。“如果有这样的警示，我就不会把手机放在脑袋边充电——我知道和我有着同样习惯的人很多。”
　　此外，这位女士还向苹果公司要求以最新款的iPhone4s来替代内爆的iPhone4，苹果公司最后表示只能给她换原型号iPhone4。 　　美国苹果公司至今还未对此事件作出官方评价。 　　外媒曾报道过多起 　　苹果手机爆燃事故 　　据国外媒体的报道，这可能是美国第一起iPhone爆炸事故，但并不是iPhone第一次发生起火事故。 　　据英国 BBC等多家媒体报道，2011年11月25日，澳洲Regional Express(REX)航空公司编号ZL319的客机在飞往悉尼准备降落时，空中小姐发现一位男乘客在座位上不安地扭动身躯，还用手拍打裤袋，而且其裤 袋里还冒出大量浓烟。“不知道是什么东西着火了，扔出来才发现是已变成暗红色的iphone4。”这位男乘客则称，手机当时是关机状态。 　　一个月时 间不到，巴西也发生了一起iPhone4自燃事故。和昨天的美国事故相类似，一位名叫莫塔的女士将iPhone4放于床边充电后熟睡，半夜时，手机突然冒 出火光和大量浓烟，当时手机距离她也很近，只有约15厘米，幸好也是及时醒过来，才没有受伤；但从照片可以看到，iPhone4的屏幕已被烧穿变形。 　　2009年8月24日凌晨3点，26岁的法国超市保安雅（点击观看安雅影视作品《BadBoy特攻》、《妙探神威》）苏里·布阿迪正在用自己3个月前买的iPhone发短信，“突然间，屏幕就爆炸了！”布阿迪的眼睛被一片碎玻璃划伤，他愤怒地向苹果公司提出了索赔。 　　布阿迪不是唯一一个iPhone爆炸受害者，他的手机出事前不久，法国南部一名18岁少年的iPhone手机“发出吱吱声并爆裂”，这位名叫Romain Koleda的少年说，手机爆炸时距离他脸部为30cm，导致他眼睛受伤。 　　另外，巴黎郊区一位80岁老人的iPhone手机显示屏在他手中爆裂。 　　据法国媒体统计，近期已有10名法国消费者报告他们的iPhone手机显示屏爆炸或者破裂。还有一起事件发生在荷兰，一名男子将iPhone留在汽车里，回来时却发现iPhone已引燃大火，将副驾驶座烧得面目全非。 　　到底哪里发生问题？ 　　电池过热被高度怀疑 　　最新发生在美国的iPhone事件暂时还没有调查数据。但之前的所有iPhone事故经过调查，祸首几乎都指向电池——锂离子电池过热引发安全问题。 　　比如这个澳大利亚的“自焚事件”： 　　从当时乘客拍下的这张照片可以看到，iPhone4机背有拇指大小的烧焦痕迹——而此处内侧，正是手机内置电池的位置；后经检视，iPhone4内部插电池的地方已被烧出一个洞，电池已经融化。 　　据科技网站“TheNextWeb”报道，根据机背裂纹形状和坑洞位置，自燃应该与电池有关，怀疑是电池出了问题。 　　而发生在巴西的iPhone自燃事故，经巴西警方调查，起火原因怀疑也与手机电池短路有关。 　　科技资讯网站CNET补充了一个理由：苹果就产品过热问题一直没有彻底解决，由于苹果产品均不带散热风扇，爆炸可能是因为手机过热导致。 　　欧盟2009年曾成立委员会 　　专门调查iPod与iPhone爆炸 　　西雅图Kiro电视台2009年曾报道，他们已从美国消费产品安全委员会找出800页有关iPod燃烧或发光的投诉文案。 　　2009年8月，《纽约时报》曾报道说，欧盟已成立委员会对iPod和iPhone爆炸可能性展开调查，苹果公司也表示会全力配合。 　　苹果公司认为，这些爆炸事件都是孤立的事件；而委员会发言人Helen Kearns也曾在布鲁塞尔召开记者会称，他们认为这些事件并不能说明iPhone及iPod存在普遍性问题，同时他们也会督促苹果公司跟进爆炸事件并对手机进行更多的安全测试。 　　Helen还补充，此前已有许多证据充分的案例表明，笔记本电脑的电池会燃烧起火——2008年Sony公司就曾回收过手提电脑电池，因此iphone确实也有自燃的可能性，因为它们用的是相似的电池技术。 　　去年杭州也曾发生两起 　　和苹果手机有关的“炸裂” 　　2011 年6月2日晚，快报读者杨先生的女儿和妻子一起坐在餐桌前(餐桌桌面是钢化玻璃)，用烟灰缸当支架，把iPhone4手机斜靠在烟灰缸上，一起上网看电视 剧《海派甜心》，母女俩从傍晚6点一直看到夜里12点半，然后去睡觉，把手机放在餐桌上。凌晨1点半许，睡梦中突然听到一声巨响，跑去一看，餐桌上的钢化 玻璃炸裂了，客厅满地都是碎玻璃……而那只飞到地上的iPhone4手机几乎一点损坏也没有。 　　杨先生怀疑手机发烫导致桌面玻璃炸开，“但我们平时把很烫的汤锅放在上边也没事啊。” 　　另一起事件发生在2011年8月16日下午，杭州的袁先生说自己正在使用的iPhone4手机突然爆炸。 　　袁先生说他当时用手机接了一个电话，讲了十几分钟后挂断，却突然发现手指上突然多了几粒玻璃碎碴，机身的保护套也已经变形，而且“机身非常烫”。 　　对此，苹果公司在杭州指定的一家维修点工作人员坚决认为，袁先生的iPhone4损伤是外力造成，并非产品本身原因。 　　当时，北京一位专门研究手机安全的专家分析了袁先生手机爆裂的三种可能性： 　　1.外力导致机身变形和后盖破裂。 　　2.iPhone4锂电池造成机身过烫可能引起爆裂。 　　3.后盖本身有一些裂缝，平时看不出来，因为长时间通话导致电池过热，使得机身材料热胀冷缩，导致后盖胀裂。 　　苹果官网承认 　　一代iPod Nano电池有安全风险 　　根据记者从苹果官网得到的信息，苹果公司只承认过2005年9月至2006年12月之间销售的一代iPod Nano因电池过热，易造成安全风险；而当年销售的所有产品都已被召回。 　　但苹果公司在官方网站上对上述所有iPhone自燃或爆炸事件都没有作出回应。 　　都市快报 记者 章贝佳 何欣
