I am still using my old iPad 3 but after 2-3 hours it starts getting really hot at the place of the battery. It's so hot that you can iron with it. I think is really dangerous that, because it may fire one day. Please help me with that.
Thank you!
iPad, iOS 9
It is not unusual for an iPad to become warm (or very 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, this may indicate a fault requiring service.
You should take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults. If service or repair is required, you’ll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
