iPad overheating

My M2 iPad Pro heats up a lot while taking notes on the Notes app using the Apple pencil . It's almost impossible to touch the screen when that happens because it's too hot . What is causing this problem ?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

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 or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults.
