Heating issue Ipad 7th gen

My ipad was around 80% charged. Suddenly while watching a series ipad screen was frozen and backside started heating up. Constantly for 1 hour backside was heated up. I wasn't able to perform anything on screen. After that ipad cooled down. Saw battery was 7% and my screen looked different.

Hi abhijit52,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you have a question about your iPad charging and battery. We're happy to help.


We recommend you keep your iPad within the acceptable ambient temperatures as listed here: Keeping iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch within acceptable operating temperatures


Additionally you'll find:


Your device might get warm

When you use the device or charge the battery, the device might get warm. You might notice that your device feels warmer in these situations:

  • When you set up your device the first time
  • When you restore from a backup
  • When apps reindex or reanalyze data, like Photos tagging for faces, places, or keywords after a software update
  • When you use graphics-intensive or augmented-reality apps or features

These conditions are normal, and your device will return to a regular temperature when complete.


When and if your iPad becomes frozen when using a specific app that may be graphic intensive, the steps here can assist: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen


You'll also want to ensure you're only using certified Apple accessories: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories


You can also check for specific apps or usage for your battery, with the steps in the article here: About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


We recommend you do have a backup of your information, in the event you'll need to visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider in the future. Those steps can be found here: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Cheers!
