iPad iPad 7th gen gets warm on the right side

[sqa4life]

I just pick up a 7th gen iPad a few days ago. The iPad gets warm on the right side after using it for about 30 minutes. It's just warm, not hot. Is that normal?
I also have 3 other 6th gen iPad and have not experienced such issue.

I have the 6th gen and whenever I run an intensive program (either graphics or processor intensive) it warms up on the right hand side where the battery is (I think).

What doesn’t help is ever since iOS 13.3 or so, my iPhone and iPad both seem to get warm fairly quickly doing minimal tasks. Not sure if this is a RAM management issue, but it is certainly software related.

Have you tried updating to iPadOS 13.5 to see if it fixes the issues?

Yes, I am on 13.5. I think it helped slightly, but my iPhone still gets very hot.

Are you charging at the same time? It gets the warmest during charging, although the SoC would also get warm if you’re doing something intensive like video encoding or gaming.

BTW, what do you mean by right side? When the iPad is in portrait or in landscape orientation?
