How to stop my brand new iPad Air M2 from over heating?

Hello,

I recently bought the iPad Air M2 and also got the same issue.

It heats up around the camera area as long as I am using the Apple Pencil and taking notes, getting very hot after 10-ish minutes of use. This also leads to extreme battery drainage, 40% loss in only 90 minutes of time, while Apple states it takes about 6min for 1% to drain.

I also owned an iPad 8th Generation and used it for 3 years, 8-12h a day with my pencil for my studies and never had this problem. Could it really be that M chips are not optimized for / with the Pencil?

This really is not acceptable for a device that costs 800€ and I am very disappointed. Recent software update did not fix it either. Apple Support ran a Diagnose and said everything seems fine with the device, but clearly it is not. What are the steps I could take further? Replacing the device with the new one will not really help, as I heard many others did this and nothing has changed.

I really need some help and advice because iPad is a crucial essential for my studies and I rely on it heavily.

Hi everyone, I’m facing the same issue when taking notes on my iPad. I hoped updating to IpadOs 18 would help. However, it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Has anyone found at least partial solution? Is this happening to all the model or should I try to refund it and get a new one?

I had Ipad Pro 2017 model before I purchased the new iPad Air 2024. I have been using the same 2-3 apps (goodnotes, YouTube, and chrome) and I never had any issue of overheating with pro. I just bought this air a week ago and it is overheating a lot. It's like I have downgraded my iPad even though the old model was like 7 (SEVEN) years old than this one. Insane.

I have similar problem with my new Ipad Air M2.

The apple does not accept any complain about their problems.

Nice cover.

My Ipad is always updated to the latest available Ios. Now it is 17.5.1

I too have the same issue but force restarting does not work for me.

Please help me

i also face the same issue, i even only use my ipad for writing in note app. and my apple pencil also get delayed.

iPad Air M2 is worst, it is getting heat up too much while charging and normal usage, not expected from apple

I can confirm this problem while using Goodnotes. This iPad is basically unusuable. Thanks Apple!
