iPad Air 5 heating up while using Notes with Apple pencil

This issue specifically happens when using Notes app + Apple pencil. The right side of the device heats up, probably where the M1 chip is located. It is not present when using any other app with Apple pencil like Goodnotes and also is not present if you just normally use Notes app without apple pencil. This issue has been raised many times over the last few years. Can anyone explain why Apple has not fixed this issue, considering its the built-in Notes app?

I have tried restarting but the issue remains. Would like to know if anyone has any recommendations to fix this since I like using the stock Notes app that comes with the iPad.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

I'm facing exactly the same issue. My iPad Air 5 heats up on the right side (in portrait mode, near where the apple pencil attaches) while using the Notes app with the pencil.

Is there a known fix for this already? Currently experiencing it,I thought it was due to my case. Realized it’s an issue since I already changed my case.

My iPad Air 5 overheats when I use the Apple Pencil 2 to write in the Notes app. Additionally, the Notes app crashes frequently, causing me to lose a significant amount of written content.

Is there any update about this problem? It started when I installed iPadOS 16 and now I cannot use it more than 2 hours if I cannot plug it.

Same issue here. I purchased it in August 2023 and began using it for note-taking this month. I've also attempted to utilize the low battery mode, but unfortunately, it has not resolved the issue.
