iPad overheating when using notes and Apple Pencil

This isn't a proper response to the issue.

This is across iPad models, and there is nothing someone at a Genius bar is going to be able to do about it. The behaviour only occurs with the Apple Notes app, and after writing on it with the Apple Pencil for an hour. Even if you get a Genius bar assistant to sit there watching you write something for an hour to recreate the issue, they still aren't going to be in a position to do anything about the problem.

As it looks, it is an optimisation problem with the handwriting feature on Apple Notes for iPad.

Telling people to change the brightness of their screen, or going to a Genius Bar (I don't live in a country with Apple stores), isn't going to help.

And where, precisely, have I offered any advice to change screen brightness in response to this issue? Clearly I have not - but I have offered completely appropriate advice in suggesting that assistance is sought from Apple.

Despite your assertion, Apple's in-store technicians have access to technical resources that we, as contributors, do not. Similarly, they have the ability to escalate issues to Apple Support - and they in turn to Apple's Engineering resources where appropriate.

While you may not be in a country where Apple is represented with official Stores or Apple Authorised Service Providers (AASPs), this is unlikely to be the case for many that are experiencing the described difficulties.

Yeah, I am experiencing the same issue on my 12.9” M2 iPad Pro. I don’t use a case on it and this overheating issue only happens when I’m using my Apple Pencil on the notes app or Freeform. I’m sure it’s a software issue so hopefully there will be an update.

Totally agree with that. I've already took the iPad to Genius Bar and nothing... call apple and the answer is to take it to repair. They run a test on it and everything is ok. The only problem is as mentioned in the title "ipad overheating themusinf notes with apple pencil" which never gets fixed.

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Community.

We want to make sure you reach the right team for help with your device. We recommend that you contact Apple Support directly. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here: Get Support.

A quick fix for that is to reduce the luminosity of the iPad as well as turning auto brightness off... If it still gets not after that, try going into dark mode, to reduce the "light" of the screen.

Use a different notes app.

one "work around is to set the luminosity to a minimum (as low as you feel confortable with) and then stop "auto adjust of luminosity" when using Notes (you can change it back afterwards

you'll notice: 1- don't overheat

2- less battery drain

Is there any way to fixed the heating problem of iPad pro while using notes app.

This has very little to do with anything.

Same issue here with my IPad Pro m2 Apple Fix it as soon as possible

I have a brand new iPad 6 and its the same exact issue

Please tell me what to do as I am facing the same issue and my warranty is going to expire in 5 days and service centre is not doing anything

Use a different notes app.
