iPad overheating when using notes and Apple Pencil

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue as you. I'm considering using my warranty to request a refund since I initially bought it solely for school and note-taking purposes. It was only after about six months that I started using it for note-taking and encountered this problem.

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.

I have also the same issue with my ipad pro , it heats up whenever i start using notes with my apple pencil , within 5-10 minutes the centre of ipad heats and i have to take break while taking notes .

I request APPLE to fix this issue asap.

The same thing is happening to me as well. I just used notes on a BRAND NEW, just out of the box yesterday, iPad Air 5th Gen (I think) that I got to replace my iPad mini, that I loved and was perfect in every way except for how the battery would drain ridiculously fast and get hot while writing notes every day. We thought it was an issue with the mini but it clearly isn’t since I’m experiencing it using Notes for the first time in a brand new iPad.

Apple please fix. We shouldn’t have to use a 3rd party app to do what is native to the iPad.

This is the exact problem happening with me on Ipad Pro (M4) 2024 13 inches model. Although I do have Ipad 9th generation (bought in 2019), and everything works very stable with pencil 1st generation and notes application without any heating issues and battery drain out (Never changed the battery too). Now I am surprised to understand the older ones are working very stable but new upgraded models are running with these premature issues. This is frustrating to me as I had a positive hopes while upgrading to Ipad Pro but completely disappointed now.

Thank you IdrisSeabright. I did return them w/in the 14 days, and re-purchased same devices. The second set is doing the same behavior. Prior to this, I had iPad Pro 11" First Gen with Pencil 2 and no issues.

Hello,

I have the exact same issue and it hasn't even been a few months since I purchased it. I'm also using Apple notes app to take handwritten notes with Apple Pencil, a long with split screen to see my slides on files app for reference. Battery gets drained extremely quickly even with low brightness.

Kindly please fix this issue.

Hi, I am facing the same issue on my new iPad Air 2024 with M2. The device is getting hot only while using notes app. Yeah it would be great if the issue resolved but after reading the comments I doubt there will be any fix for this issue soon.

Hey everyone, I just got off the phone with Apple. They aren’t aware of this because they don’t look on here lol. I’m the first who’s made them aware of this problem and they said more people need to call them so they can get more information to figure out what’s going on, :)

That’s insane that they don’t look here to understand what’s going on. I assumed they would check these forums out (they’re offical Apple forums after all). Sigh. Thanks for letting us know, I’ll book an appointment see what they suggest (and remind them about their forum existing).

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

I really hope there is a fix for this issue because my iPad reaches scalding hot body temperatures when simply writing in Apple Notes with my Apple Pencil.

I have same issues with my iPad Air5(m1) when using notes with pencil.

apple please fix this issue.

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 M2 and I have the same issue. Is there a fix?
