Why is new ipad 7th generation overheating?

We can only offer you this support article:--> Keeping iPhone, iPad and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures – Apple Support

But we can't diagnose that problem remotely, sorry. Since it is still covered by warranty, if the issue persists, have it inspected at an Apple Store or Authorized Service provider, when they re-open.

iPads are more sensitive to heat from direct sunlight on their glass panel, more than the general outside ambient temperatures.

Were you attempting to use your iPad outside in direct sunlight?

The iPad’s glass surface heats up rather quickly in direct sunlight, like any piece of glass or a mirror.

Not unique to the iPad 7. My original iPad Air (2013) on which I keep our song list did that when we were doing an outdoor gig last June. Afternoon temp was about 90F and the sun was falling directly on the iPad screen. It shut down with the same display you describe.

I turned the face of the iPad away from the sun and few minutes later the sun moved down enough fo a shadow to fall on the iPad. Within minutes it was working again, and saved until we were done.

The black screen absorbs a lot of heat; the iPad was good about warning you and me that it was unhappy. So keep it out of direct sun and it should be fine.

Per the article linked, our iPads must have reached an internal temp of 95°F.

I bet conditions were similar but not identical.

I recommend investing in an ereader, like an Amazon kindle, for outdoor reading. I picked up mine for about $50 and it's been a worthwhile investment.

The newer device may be more sensitive to outdoor temperature.

Was the brightness maxed out? How hot was it outside?
