Carrier Does your iPad gets hot?

[RaphaZ]

Hello!

I was wondering if your iPad gets hot.
My Classic 9 gen gets warm a little bit. How does the M1 performs when editing pdfs or doing note-taking?

And battery-wise, are you satisfied?

I have the M1 Pro 12”. It’s great! Rarely do I ever notice it get warm, but it does occasionally. It’s never been hot or close to it. Battery life is great for me.

The screen is gorgeous by the way. I’ve had it about a year and still have “wow” moments when looking at trip photos.

No m1 iPad experience, but multiple other iPad. I personally have not gotten my iPad mini 6 (a15) to heat up yet. I did get my iPad gen6 (a10) to get pretty darn hot, but it didn't throttle I don't think. I was in full summer sun, so full brightness, plugged in, split view work's Remote Desktop with other part of split view a spreadsheet, PIP Netflix, and slide over open using messaging app. My iPad Air gen 1 (a7) got hot with video on full brightness or when plugged in while using google sheets. iPad mini 2 (a7?) didn't get hot.

That said, when I bought my Mini the iPad Air m1 demo at the store was on FIRE and the brightness was limited because of this.

Thank you for sharing.
My iPad gets slightly warmer when editing pdfs or note taking (while on wi-fi with more windows open) on the bottom, more precisely on the right-side. I should say that I have the Pencil turned on on these occasions. Is it probably the Bluetooth connection?

I can't say, however, that it gets HOT. It doesn't. But makes me think if I can work like this for hours straight.

I roll sans case, so my iPads are always naked. My wife has the gen 9 with a case I will ask her if it gets warm, she rarely uses the pencil but plays games with PIP video playing in the corner.

I am curious to hear others experiences.

Well, I do use a silicone case, just in the rear. I have to test it without the case to be honest.

Note, screen brightness contributes to temps as well. I usually have brightness at 0-15% so mine runs pretty cool unless I'm gaming or ambient temps are really high (SoCal summers).

I tend to get 12+ hours battery life with my typical usage and settings so I'm fairly content.

Thanks! Don’t you feel tired of reading with that level of brightness?

Nope. Low brightness feels more comfortable for me.

Anytime I use my family members' iPads or iPhones, I feel like my eyeballs are burning due to the high brightness.

One question also can refer to the utilization of the Apple Pencil, or a bluetooth stylus... Does that utilization warms the tablet?

 

[Mackilroy]

No, it does not.

Perhapes you're asking the wrong question. What's important isen't if the iPad gets hot, per sy. Getting hot just means working hard and venting the heat. What's important is the profence, and how prone the iPad is to slowing down when it gets hot.

 

[Isengardtom]

Mine only does when playing games. And the M1 less so than the previous A12Z I had when playing Civ 6 for example

warm weather + high brightness will make it heat up too

No, it does not slows down.
