Ipad pro 10.5 becomes hot around home button

I'm having the same issue on my new 2017 iPad Pro 12.9". I am getting a lot of heat on and around the home button. If the iPad is oriented in portrait mode, the home button at the bottom and camera at the top, the bottom third of the iPad is getting unusually warm.

I have owned every iteration of the iPad since its inception, including the iPad Pro 12.9" generation 1, and none of them exhibited this issue, which is why I'm concerned. One thing I am doing with this iPad that I did not do with my previous iPads is I'm using the Apple Pencil frequently, for note taking and illustration.

Having the same, exact issues. Only had the iPad for 2 weeks. Occurs when just browsing and reading. Tried removing case but has made no difference. Bottom 1/4- 1/3 of the iPad, back and front, runs hot! Also have had 2 other iPads and iPhones and have never had this occur. Should we be concerned Apple? Finding postings everywhere on the web about this.

Question for all with this problem: Is this on iOS 11 beta or also iOS 10? I have this problem on the beta... from iFixit it looks like it must be display related, there are the new timings controller for the 120hz Display and the touchscreen controllers in this area...

- no powercord

- wifi only

Hi. Is it possible you have Bluetooth turned on when you don't normally? Check the status bar at the top.

The button in the new Control Center only disconnects Bluetooth; you need to turn it off in Settings.

I think I know where the heat comes from. At least in my case the iPad Pro 10.5 gets hot around the bottom when the screen brightness is at max. Since they inplemented a really bright display in the 2017 iPad Pro generations, the LEDs for the background illumination turn hotter than on the older generation iPads.

Hi. Just asking, is this with the charging cord connected, or not?

Are you using cellular data or WiFi?

I meant, does it happen when you're using cellular, or also when you're connected to WiFi. This is significant because the different radios may be at the ends of the device.

I am using iOS 10....still having same heat issue.

Iam using the latest iOS 11 beta and now the heat problem looks like its gone.

In a few weeks (maybe 12. Sep?) iOS 11 will be released and i hope it will fix the problem for everyone...

I hope so

my iPad Pro 10.5 also get worm around the home button after 10 minutes . I hope Apple release update to fix this problem . 😃

I tried enabling Bluetooth in my iPad Air, and it does seem to warm up around the Home button.

You should definitely try turning Bluetooth off in Settings.
