New iPad Pro 13 inch M4 Overheating
My iPad Pro gets very hot while painting in Procreate within about 1/2 hour. My case I’m using is super thin. Center back and front is hottest points.

Same here, although not just with Procreate, even with Apple's freeform. It gets to the point where I can barely write on the screen, and then the apps start closing. I then decided to try the iPad Air. I had no issues, but I didnt like the Air, so I went back and changed back to the Pro and even with the new one, I'm having the same issues. I'm not sure if it's the new screen or the software issue, but Apple, please fix this!!
. I would liove to know how your report of the heat resulted in getting an offer of replacement. ;-) All I got was someone who didn’t know anything and tried to cover up for it by telling me I had this problem because i haven’t updated to version 18 yet.
Version 18 BTW is one that is bricking m4 pads!
Me too. I have an iPad Pro first gen and M4 iPro. My first gen has never been hot. Now on my M4 after just 5 minutes on certain apps. it gets really really hot. I'll probably update to iOS 18 in the next few days. I hope that sorts the problem out.
My sure about you but iOS 18 did not help at all with the heat factor. I have been using it without a cover and makes no difference. It is frustrating to have to close my apps frequently to let it cool down and charge before bringing my apps back up.
I was have same problem!! It was hot on center when I was draw in procreate and battery drop rly very fast….
idk what was happens but after rebooting it start work good!!! No more hot on center when I draw like I feel cold display 1 hr take 11% it with some anime on side
For reboot go to
Setting/Assecibility/Touch turn ON AssistiveTouch and on custom action choose double tap for rebooting
I have the same problem with files, notes. It feels like with apple intelligence they did not optimise the performance of these apps and they are drastically overheating. More often than not, files would just crash and I would lose all my annotations progress. Battery life is terrible and iPad becomes really hot. Fun fact, the iPad is actually cooler when playing games and watching videos than using files and notes. I'm on 11 inch ipad pro M4.
Mine with apple notes and Apple Pencil Pro gets so hot that becomes unusable!!! Which my old IPad I always wrote four hours without any problem and now this crazy expensive one I have to stop because the screen burns. How can that be possible?
My problem corrected itself after one of the small 18.x updates! I can have my heavy cover now and have no issues! Another thing that helps is taking it off the charge cord once it is charged up and not leaving the cord attached.

What was this - if not a reply within this thread?
sorry I do not have much info on this topic but hope this helps
I’m still waiting for the replacement
how did you get them to replace yours? Mine is getting too hot to while using procreate.
Was your ipad Air 3rd Gen updated to the newest IOS when it didn't overheat? I'm trying to figure out if its a hardware thing or an IOS thing.
