I use my iPad as a drawing tablet, and it gets noticeably warm during drawing sessions. It has a case on, so I'm wondering whether the case is trapping heat or whether this is normal. Should I be concerned, and would removing the case help?

The case probably isn’t causing a problem, but it can slow heat dissipation and make the iPad stay warmer for longer. Removing it during long drawing sessions may help. Also, try not to draw while charging if possible, since charging and heavy use together create extra heat. Be concerned if you see a temperature warning, automatic dimming, shutdowns, or if the device becomes uncomfortably hot to hold.
Yes, that’s generally normal. Drawing applications can put sustained demand on the processor and graphics hardware, especially with the screen brightness turned up. Since iPads don’t have fans, the aluminum body spreads and releases the heat, so it may feel warm during extended use.
