My iPad told me it was overheating today. It asked me to shut it down. I was unable to shut it down. Finally after a number of tries, I was able to shut it down. By that point it was hard to hold, probably around 130 deg F. What causes this, and what can I do to prevent it in the future?
It is not unusual for an iPad to become warm when being used - more so when using some types of iPad case. High screen brightness and/or CPU intensive Apps will also create more heat.
The key point is that whilst your iPad may become very warm in normal use, the iPad should not become uncomfortably hot to handle. If your iPad is becoming too hot to hold, as perhaps described, you should take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults.
