A few days ago I received my iPad air 5 and noticed that when charging or with the screen on (even if I’m not doing anything on it at the time), the left side gets warm after about 5 minutes. I would like to know if this is normal and if it can somehow affect performance.
Thank You in Advance

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, or if you have any 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.
My iPad Air 5 is heating up on the right side.
