"Ipad air 4 getting hot on the right side: I just bought an iPad air 4 last week, but I noticed that it's getting warm only on the right side while changing! Is it normal? Does anyone have the same problem?"

How how is hot? Is it burning? I wouldn't say its normal on one side. So, try the following...

Troubleshooting an Overheating iPhone:

Try the following:

I. Cool Down the iPhone:

For a few hours, perform the following...

• Power Off: the iPhone for a bit
• Unplug: any Cables
• Place it Atop: a Laptop Cooler
• Keep it in: an open space
• Keep it Out of: direct sunlight

II. Clear Space:

Having little empty space can heat things up. So, here is what to perform...

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

• Cookies perform remembrance of certain site-entered data.
• Cache keeps a snapshot of the last time you visited a site.
• Go Here: Clear the History and Cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - Apple Support

Also...

B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.

Also...

C. Clear "Other":

1. Clear the storages named "Other". It basically contains unnecessary files such as caches that are used for system ease of use - all of which gather over time: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tips. Caches would be being used for remembrance of application use.

An iPad may become warm (or very warm) when being used - but the iPad should never become uncomfortably hot to hold. Localised warming on the right side of the iPad is usually associated with charging of the Apple Pencil if you have one - the area of warming being associated with the magnetic/inductive charging dock on the edge of the iPad.

Being new, if you have any concerns at all, you might be best advised to return it to your retailer for exchange or refund. If purchased directly from Apple, you have benefit of an unconditional 14-day return period.
