iPad Pro Left side of ipad pro heat up

[Tommaso Ammannati]

Hi everyone
Is normal that the left side immediately warm up instead the right side stays cold?
(Ipad pro 11 2018)

It's normal that the area where the SoC is gets warmer than the rest of the surface, yes.

But isnt the SoC on the right side of the iPad Pro?

Which seems to be located in the middle according to the iFixit take apart, not on the sides.

I gotta be honest I couldn't derive positioning from those photos. But I can say that my 12.9" Pro gets warmest near the bottom when connected to the keyboard case, which would be the left side when held upright. Whether it's battery heat or SoC transmitting its heat in that directions, it's certainly how it is

According to the iFixit teardown under the left side there are chips of display (display driver). I don't know if is normal that these chips causing warm up of the left side.

I found this Heat Map in a review of ipad pro 2018. It is exactly what I feel on my Ipad. Someone else also feels the same?

There seems to be a double thread about a similar issue.
See my answer here - my Pro 10.5 got replaced: Klick

If your device develops unusual heat in the lower left area, even during idle at normal/low brightness, and if this issue remains even after a full software reset, it is very likely an issue with one of the controller chips located there. You might also notice increased battery drain. Software updates wont help in this case, so consult Apple service.

actually this morning I was in the apple store and I saw that even ipad pro 11 on display heats up in the left side. So I think is normal.
I don't know if it is normal for ipad pro 10.5
