I don't get it guys. I live in AZ. It's 110 every day now. The actual tarmac is 150+ I hang my I pad off a suction cup on the inside of the canopy. I move it around as the sun changes to kill the glare. I just flew to the east coast and back and use it all of the time locally and I'm telling ya it's freaking hot here and I have never had a temp failure???? What are you doing differently that is leading to this result?

I too have never had a failure and have been to FL280 (non pressurized) several times with several different iPads.  I've flown in AZ where it was 115 degrees and no AC.  I do keep the display out of direct sunlight but this little "consumer" product is more reliable than most anything in the airplane.  I keep a second iPad as a backup.  The FAA has done extensive testing and has approved them as primary EFB for even the 121 guys.  I guess there are many out there that just hate any Apple product though.
