While Apple has traditionally relied on conventional cooling systems, such as heat sinks, in previous devices, it appears the company plans to enhance thermal management across all iPhone 17 models, including both the standard and Pro versions.
Vapor Chambers work by containing a small amount of liquid, typically deionized water, which evaporates when exposed to the heat produced by the processor. The resulting vapor is then distributed across the surface of the chamber, effectively dissipating heat and helping to maintain the device's cool temperature.
Interestingly, this report contradicts earlier predictions by renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who had previously stated that Vapor Chamber cooling would be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max model.
In addition, some rumors suggest that the standard iPhone 17 models may finally feature high refresh rate displays, possibly at 90Hz or 120Hz.
