iPad Air 5: Apple Pencil charger getting hot during gameplay

Hi everyone,

I recently noticed that while playing certain games on my iPad Air 5, the Apple Pencil charger on the side of the iPad gets noticeably hot. I'm concerned about this and would like to understand the reasons behind it. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with their iPad Air 5 or any other iPad model? I'm wondering if it's a common occurrence or if there's something specific I should be aware of.

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

iPad Air 5

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, or if you just have concerns, you should take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults:

For information, iPadOS 16.5 is current.
