iPad getting warm while charging

Any iPad can be expected to become warm during use or while charging - this being entirely normal. However, the iPad should never become uncomfortably hot to either hold or use.

Sometimes a process can stall - leading to warmer temperatures than normal. In such circumstances, a simple forced restart will usually resolve the problem:

• On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
• On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
