Ipad gets very hot very quickly when using notes app to handwrite notes

I have just bought a brand new M2 iPad Air and after about 10 minutes of using the apple pencil pro to take notes in Apple Notes, the iPad gets scolding hot, this doesn't happen in other apps like Goodnotes after an hour of writing. I have seen others say the same thing and This is very unfortunate because the new Notes features are very nice and I really wanted to use it as my main notetaking app, but it seems it is not properly optimized which is weird seeing as the Notes app is native.

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

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.

Anecdotal reports seen here note that unexpected heating, encountered when using an Apple Pencil with the Notes App, can be resolved by ensuring the the Accessibility Zoom function is disabled in iPad settings:

Settings > Accessibility > [Vision] Zoom > Zoom - set to OFF
