Q: How can I stop my iPad mini from overheating?
I just had to replace my 1-year-old iPad mini that suddenly died ... shortly after the warranty period ended. I brought it to 3 separate places and no one could revive it or explain what happened aside from the fact that when they plugged it into the power source, they told me that it seemed to get unusually warm quickly. I have a brand new iPad mini and it seems to be getting warm very quickly. How can I determine if this is a serious problem? What can I do to avoid overheating?

Hi
Apple advises that charging your iPad mini when it is in certain styles of cases may generate excess heat, which can adversely affect the battery's capacity. If you notice that your iPad mini gets hot when you charge it, Apple advises that you should remove it from the case first:
Also note the information here:
If you then remain concerned that your iPad mini becomes unusually warm, contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having it and your power accessories checked and, if recommended by Apple, serviced under warranty:
