iPad 12.9" 5th Gen (M1) Heating with Excessive Battery Drain
Hi all,
I've had the 12.9" 5th Gen iPad Pro (with the M1 processor) for a few days now and I've noticed a unique issue that I never ran into with the 11" iPad Pro (M1 processor as well) - while using for an extended period of time (particularly with taking notes using Notability) the left side of the screen gets excessively warm (borderline hot) and the battery drains *very* rapidly. At its current rate of drain, I probably get 3-4 hours of use if I'm using my iPad for note-taking; even less if I'm multi-tasking while taking notes.
Here's what I've done...
- Turned TruTone off
- Turned auto-brightness on (I prefer a dimmer screen anyways)
- Limited Background Refresh to only 3 or 4 apps that need it.
- Made sure that no app was using location services around the clock.
- Turned off 'Share iPad Analytics'.
- I've removed most of my home screen widgets - with the exception of my calendar.
- I've turned it off and back on again.
- I've performed a hard reset.
I have NOT performed a full factory reset as of yet.
I also use the smart keyboard and Gen 2 Apple pencil.
Is this a common problem that needs to be addressed in an update or have I gotten a dud of an iPad?
Thanks!
