New Ipad pro 11 inch M4 getting hot

Just got the newest iPad model. Everything works smooth and fantastic. Only concern is heating. I have been using normal creative apps and PlayStation remote play occasionally with no issues. But some App Store games that support 120 hz make the iPad super hot In a very short amount of time, under 10 minutes of gameplay. You can’t help but notice how hot it’s getting. Hopefully there is an update that relieves this.

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 to hold, 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.
