Your iPad 3 overheating? It’s become a “very real problem” according to several reports and as the complaints mount up, it seems that the overheating issue is directly hampering Wi-Fi connectivity.

Apple’s official discussion forum is crammed with comments regarding the poor Wi-Fi reception of the iPad 3. Over 700 users have reported an issue with their new iPads.

The symptoms report that Apple stores should in the States should “capture iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi devices only if they exhibited any issue related to Wi-Fi.”
