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.

The iPad does not have a case. I ran the diagnostics with Apple Care and everything appeared fine. I am not able to make an appointment with the Genius Bar due to COVID restrictions.


I also reduced the brightness and problem still exists. I just need to wait until the Genius Bars opens. Thank you for your response.
