Why does the charger to my ipad get hot?

I've noticed this recently that the charger gets hot. I looked to we what wattage it was and it's a 10w. Are they supposed to get hot?


iPad, iPadOS 14

Power Adapters will often become very warm whilst charging at full power - however, the Power Adapter should not become too hot to touch.


Power Adapters should always have good ventilation when connected to AC Mains power.
