It is perfectly normal 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 not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:

same here, m3 overheating just using pencil pro and writing. I think apple need to perform an internal investigation. This is not simply user or app error that we public can solve.
Exactly, the same issue here, I’ve just recently bought new iPad Air m3, and if I use zoom or video calls, or play game Titan Quest it gets crazy hot, sometimes it even dimes brightness of the display, unbelievable, 600$ for that
Same here. I don’t even need to run heavy apps — it heats up just by using Procreate or taking simple notes.
And I’m not talking about “warm”, I mean really uncomfortable to touch.
Funny how a brand-new device with the “latest chip” can’t handle basic tasks without overheating.
Sometimes when I’m charging and using it at the same time, it just stops charging and says it will resume after the iPad cools down.
Not really what I expected after spending this much.
I purchased an iPad Air with a M3 chip in April and it has been overheating on and off since purchasing. It gets so hot that I can barely touch it. I just can be reading online. I am extremely disappointed because I feel like it’s frying the logic board. I’m not running anything else off of the iPad no pencils nothing and it overheats. I’m not running any apps. I can just be reading Apple news and it starts overheating. For example, I just recently turned my iPad on after being off since early yesterday and within three minutes it’s overheating and the screen automatically dims as I’m reading the news. It gets so hot that I cannot handle holding the iPad. That’s how hot it is getting. I have to completely turn the iPad off and let it cool down. I’m glad that I bought insurance with it because I can see that it’s not going to last. It’s hard to believe that with as hot as it’s getting that it’s not doing damage to the components inside.
My new 25 13 inch Air is getting so hot on the right side it is uncomfortable to hold. Surely Apple can sort this. My old Pro 13 inch never had a problem I regret replacing it if this is going to happen.
No problem here… Iguess that doesn’t help you.
Never do a force restart if the iPad is still responsive. Doing so and the iPad might be writing files in the background to the hard drive and might get corrupted. If you can do a power down or restart it’s the best way to go.
Mine is also overheating, I had to get a replacement ipad because of noise from the inside compartments, and my new replacement also overheats and makes noise:/
Yes, even I am facing the same issue especially while taking notes via Apple Pencil Pro.
I don’t know why my brand-new iPad Air M3 starts heating up like an oven while I’m just writing notes with Pencil Pro. Apple do you even care about your customers…?
I have the same issue. Specifically when using apple notes with the Apple Pencil pro. Is there any fix to this?
