iPad Air 4 overheating when charging and drawing

My 3 weeks old iPad Air 4 gets very hot during charging, like holding a cup of freshly boiled tea, where its just not warm enough to burn your hand. The right side of the iPad and the charger adapter both gets very very hot when charging - even when Im not using the iPad. Also drawing in Apple Notes also overheats the device like crazy.


Is this normal? I dont think iPads are known for being warm. If anyone thinks its a hardware issue, do you think the store will insist there is no problem with it and I have to argue and reason?

It is not unusual for an iPad to become warm when being used - more so when using some types of iPad case. High screen brightness and/or CPU intensive Apps will also create more heat.


The key point is that whilst your iPad may become very warm in normal use, the iPad should not become uncomfortably hot to handle. If your iPad is becoming too hot to hold, you should take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults.
