Why is my iPad getting hot?

When I use my iPad for an extended amount of time it heats up pretty good.  Is this normal?  Thank You!

Yes, completely normal. That many pixels can generate a lot of heat. Unless it's too hot to hold, you should be fine.

  • Why does my ipad get hot

    My IPad gets hot.  I don't mean warm, I mean really, really warm on the front and the back.  You can feel the heat through the case I have it in.  Last night the battery was about dead the the IPad was so hot I took it out of the case trying to cool it off.  Is this normal?

    No, and it may signal trouble.  It's the battery that gets hot, if it overheats, it can kill itself and the device with it.
    If you have had it for a couple of years, time for a check up and maybe a new battery.  Cost about $100

  • TS3274 Why does my iPad get hot?

    MY iPad gets ver hot , could it be a faulty battery?

    I've just joined the community today because my iPad (latest model, a Christmas 2012 present) has started to get really hot. I first noticed it on a relatively hot (for the UK) day last week when I'd left it charging, with its cover removed, on my bed. The mattress is memory foam, which may have been a contributory factor. In order to allow air circulation, I normally prop it up vertically without its cover when charging.
    It got hot again about an hour ago, when I was simply browsing, so I looked for advice here. I found a few lengthy discussions on the subject, which appears to be fairly common, and followed advice to cut the brightness down to 50% and set auto-brightness to 'off'. 
    It is currently in use minus its protective cover and has cooled down already.  The cover's back panel has an apple-shaped cut-out, presumably for ventilation, but might it be better to use a cover that leaves the back exposed altogether?  I still have my 'L' plates on!

  • Why does my iPad get hot when it's not in use?

    I keep my iPad 4 in a carrying case. It is set to lock at 2 minutes and to turn off when the case is closed. It gets really hot when I put it in the nylon computer case that is made to carry the iPad.

    Does any apps are running the background? If yes, check them and close them. Are you using it under any high levels of temperature?

  • Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    Why my iPad get hot after 30min use?

    The iPad should not get hot after 30 minutes of use. The new iPad will get warmer that the other two iPads did, but it should never get hot.
    If you are playing a HD graphic intense game or watching a HD movie it will get warmer than it does when you are just surfing the web or doing basic functions in word processing apps, or writing emails a but it should still never get hot.
    Is your iPad brand new or has this been going on for a while?

  • Why does my phone get hot at time's?

    It doesn't happen every day, put there are times my phone gets hot even when I'm not using it then the battery drains fast and I have to charge it again.  It's not the battery area that gets hot.

    There is no damage to my phone. This is the second Samsung Galaxy S5 that I have received.  The first one did the same thing, then went dead.  I only charge my phone at night when I go to bed and unplug it in the morning.  When it does get hot, for some unknown reason, I have to charge it again during the day just to have cell phone access.  It doesn't happen on a daily basis.  It's just concerning as to why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is doing this.  Teffanie M Stark

    created by Verizon Wireless Customer Support in Android - View the full discussion                  I know this is not a good experience with your device starky69. Is there any damage to the device? How long have you had the phone? Which phone do you own? Do you keep the phone on the charger at all times when its not being used?

  • Why is my computer getting hot

    why is my computer getting hot?

    You've left us with very little to go one. What model MacBook Pro do you have? There are now a number of variants with different heat profiles. Also, what activies are you doing on the MBP when the heat seems excessive?
    How hot is "hot?" Notebooks run hotter because they have compact cases that cannot accommodate big 120mm fans like a desktop machine. The safety shut-down point (protects the processor from damage) is in the range of 200-212F. Under this is OK. Mine is running a processor temp of 135F while I post this
    You need to get software that reports actual temps. The free Dashboard widget iStatPro is here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    and will give you handy temp readouts. Then we can tell if you have a heat problems.
    The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system. It's supposed to feel warm, just like the radiator of an automobile. You should always use the computer in such a way that air can get under the case.

  • Why is my 4s getting hot with ios7?

    Why is my 4S getting hot now that I have switched to ios7?
