MacBook Air M1 Heating Issue Not Resolved by Service Center

Dear Apple Support,


I purchased a MacBook Air M1 last year, and recently I have been facing a heating issue with the device. After using it for just one year, the MacBook heats up significantly, even during light usage.


To resolve the issue, I visited an Apple Service Center, where the staff performed a basic diagnosis. However, the diagnosis was not helpful, and the problem still persists. I suspect there might be internal damage or a hardware fault, but I have not received any proper explanation or effective solution from the service team.


I am disappointed with the lack of support, especially since the device is relatively new and used with care. I kindly request that this issue be taken seriously and that a proper inspection and solution be provided.


Looking forward to your prompt response and support.






MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0

If Apple did not find a hardware issue, then most likely your issue is caused by some third party apps that you have installed. Run the third party app EtreCheck and post the complete report here so we can examine it for possible clues.

The most common culprits are anti-virus software, cleaning/optimizer apps, and third party security software.....none of which are needed on a Mac, so if you have them installed, then uninstall them by following their developer's instructions.

Welcome. You are not addressing Apple here but other end users. Apple Support does not participate in this user-to-user setting so there can be no official response to any concern posted here.


You can write to Apple HQ:



or, if you are not in the U.S., you can use the Apple home page for your country or region to find "Contact Apple" at the bottom.



When that page opens, scroll down to find your nearest Apple corporate presence or, in counties that severely limit the presence of foreign-owned businesses, Apple's designated representative.
