iPad Air in Space Gray or Silver: Which runs cooler?

[iMore Question]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on purchasing an iPad Air within a few days. The question I have where I will use it for an electronic flight bag, is, does the silver run cooler over the Space Gray? I've heard issues with it being exposed to sunlight and running hot. I didn't know if it being silver would help with that.

Thanks!

As far as I know they run the same color is just a color .. But I guess white would reflect better than a dark color

In this case as previously stated the color you choose will not make a difference as the components that take heat are the same on the inside no matter the color.

I have the space grey and my husband has the silver and the only difference is the color. Get whichever color you like better.
