Heating one side of the iPad Air 5.

I brought my new iPad Air 5 about 1 week before. When I’m using the iPad with Apple Pencil it gets hot on the right side where the wireless charging area. I usually used to take notes. When the right side is hot there is more drain in the battery observed. How can I solve this issue?

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

iPad Air getting hot while using split screen My iPad Air 5th generation is getting extremely hot while using split screen mode, notes app and only on the half side of the Apple Pencil charger. It also gets hot while charging the device or the Apple Pencil. I tried to lower the brightness, close most of the apps and put the device on low battery mode to take it easy on the processor but it didn’t help, it stays extremely hot. The only thing that helps right now is stop using the split screen, but it is the whole point of using the iPad for me as a student (reading and writing at the same time). What can I do? Should I take the device for a fix? Replace battery?

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 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?

Hello Sajadf_sh132,

There can be numerous causes for unexpected warmth. Many are outlined and explained on the article If your iPhone or iPad gets too hot or too cold - Apple Support, which we recommend that you review. If there's no clear cause, then what we'd recommend is that you contact Apple Support so they can investigate this with you further.

Cheers!
