iPad 9th generation getting warm

Just today I purchased ipad 9th generation from apple website but it is getting slightly warm on the right side (not significantly but very slightly like cannot feel on screen only on the right back edge) this is on normal use case like using youtube, using safari etc.


Just wanted to know if this is normal like a little bit warm even in light use case or should I go for support?

As described, your iPad is behaving entirely as might be expected. All electronic components will generate some heat through dissipating power.


It is not at all unusual for an iPad to become warm (or experience localised warming) 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 warm (or very warm) in normal use, the iPad should not become uncomfortably hot to handle. If your iPad is becoming too hot to hold, 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.
