Ipad Air 5 overheating

Since I updated the IpadOS to 17.4.1, when I use freeform and start to do some notes and handwriting, approx. 10 mins the device will be overheating that you can feel with your palm. Then the writing becomes laggy as well as the panning over the canvas of Freeform. Does anyone experience the same? If yes were there any available solution? I already tried Force restarting the device. It doesn't help.

It is not unusual for an iPad to become warm when being used - more so when using some types of iPad case. High screen brightness and/or CPU intensive Apps will also create more heat.


The key point is that whilst your iPad may become very warm in normal use, the iPad should not become uncomfortably hot to handle. If your iPad is becoming too hot to hold, you should take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults.
