iPad Air 5th Gen Heating Issue even when Apple Pencil is just attached

iPad Air 5th gen gets massively hot and drains battery, when using just any note taking app and Apple Pencil.

Even if I do not use any Note taking app , when I just attach the Pencil to the side (connected to iPad), the iPad gets very hot and drains battery.


Is this normal for iPad?

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

As described, your iPad or Pencil may have a hardware fault.


You would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to perform hands-on test and diagnostics for your iPad and Pencil:

Indeed, the information that you received is indeed somewhat strange.


Accepting that it is very unlikely that you were unlikely to have been purposefully mislead, perhaps a benevolent explanation might be that the agent - with whom you spoke - was referring to internal hardware by the incorrect term.


As suggested in my initial reply, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or AASP - for hands-on testing and evaluation:
