I have a 2017 iPad mini 4. Recently it has become extremely hot when I am using it. What does this mean? Is there something I can do to correct this or should I be getting ready to purchase a new device? Thank you in advance!

Troubleshooting an Overheating Mac:
I. Avoid Overheating:
Leaving it plugged in for a while, it may be overheating - so unplug it for a bit (placing it atop a laptop cooler and keep it in an open space and out of sunlight).
II. Also, Try Troubleshooting Power:
A. Try a New Charger:
B. A Few Links to Refer to for Power:
An iPad may become warm when in use - warming perhaps being localised to a specific area. While the iPad may become warm, it should never become too hot to handle.
If you are using an iPad is high ambient temperatures, the iPad’s thermal management may automatically reduce screen brightness, reduce performance, or may switch-off entirely to protect the iPad and its battery from damage. Removing the iPad from a fitted case, if used, can aid cooling.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support
Should you have any concerns, consider seeking advice directly from Apple support. You can contact the Support Team using the Get Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:
