Apple has been adding powerful processors to its iPhones in the past few years to provide users with the ultimate performance. However, keeping these chipsets cool under a heavy load is becoming trickier, as we have seen multiple cases of overheating of various iPhones in recent times. Therefore, it makes sense Apple would be thinking about ways to mitigate this problem going forward.
iPhone 17 series tipped to come with thermal improvements
According to a new report from Chinese outlet MyDrivers, Apple’s iPhone 17 series will feature a ‘vapor chamber cooling’ system, which spreads heat evenly across a larger surface area. While this would be new for iPhones, it’s a pretty common inclusion in Android phones, especially from OEMs like Samsung and Google.
At present, iPhones use heat-dissipation plates made of highly thermally conductive metals to manage overheating issues. Unfortunately, this method has not completely resolved the overheating problem, leading to complaints in various iPhones in the past, especially the iPhone Pro series. Thankfully, the vapor cooling chamber, expected to be used in the iPhone 17 series, lowers heat through a process where liquid absorbs heat and subsequently evaporates into a gas. This process helps distribute heat efficiently.
The report also claims that all iPhone 17 models will feature higher refresh rate displays, a feature which was only limited to the 'Pro' models in the past few years. However, it remains to be seen if the company will use 90Hz panels for the standard models or upgrade them to 120Hz peak on all variants.
