iPadAir + Pencil Pro Over Heating
Anyone else with this issue?
I just bought a fresh, brand new, iPadAir 1Gb on Aug 2025.
It’s works as expected, except for when I start using the Pencil, that’s when the overheating begins, and it gets so hot it’s unbearable to hold. Plus, all the lagging all around.
I got this iPadAir with the intention of using for school, as notebook, textbook, and day-to-day text composition and web browsing. But I can only use it for 3 hrs max (about 2 classes) before I have to charge it. And it’s with in 45 min you can notice it.
I have it in a case that magnetically attaches itself to a keyboard+trackpad combo (which I don’t use very much since it prefer to handwrite my notes). This case, I often have to remove it around the 1 hr mark in hopes to improve cooling.
Is it just me, do I have a lemon? Or Am I just using the wrong device for what I want? Should I have gone with the iPadPro?
