ipad pro 10.5 gets pretty warm while charging long after reaching 100%.

I can charge it before going to sleep and the next morning the thing is 100% but pretty hot.


This issue started to happen to me after updating to ipad os 17.3. I blame the OS but also could be a coincidence with my ipad battery being old.


Anybody has this issue too?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Getting warm while charging is normal.


Also, right after an update, the iPad has to do a bunch of background tasks. So, for 24-48 hours, you may see less battery life and the iPad getting warmer.


And, yes, if your battery is old, that could be part of the problem. Keep an eye on your iPad for any signs of swelling. If you see that, unplug it, turn it off and arrange to have it serviced.
