Currently, the iPhone uses a heat sink made of metals with high thermal conductivity to transfer heat away from the processor. A vapor chamber uses liquid sealed in a container that when heated, turns into vapor moving through the container which spreads the heat around. When the vapor condenses, it returns to its cooler, liquid form.
Using the vapor chamber is better than the heat sink since it can move heat further away from the processor to areas inside the phone where heat isn’t an issue. Vapor chambers also take up little space and don’t need fans or other cooling tools. The cooling system helps cool down the heat generated by the process of charging the battery powering an iPhone.
Apple will introduce its iPhone 17 series, which will include the new super-thin iPhone 17 Air, in less than eight months!
