It is common for news to appear about the possible technical features of future models, especially when some technologies that were expected for the current generation have been missed. We know that Apple plays at its own pace, unperturbed by what happens in the Android universe, where the different brands battle it out to outdo their rivals, presenting technologies that sometimes the user does not need as soon as possible. However, improving the performance of the device is never something that is over, something that could go up a couple of steps in the iPhone 13.
Improving the refrigeration
This time it has been Ming Chi Kuo, market analyst and specialized in saying what will happen in the iPhone before it happens. In his latest report, Kuo claims that Apple is testing a better cooling system, with vapor chamber technology, and possibly see the light in the next iPhone 13.
This system, which has already been seen in a number of Android devices, including some gaming-focused handsets, consists of a copper thermal structure that runs through the phone's chassis. The liquid inside evaporates as the phone's processors and other electronics heat up. The vapor spreads through the evaporation chamber and moves to areas of lower pressure, effectively cooling the device.
Kuo, explains that Apple has not yet integrated this system, because until now it did not meet Cupertino's quality standards. However, the arrival of 5G capabilities, which increases the energy load required and increases the heat of the CPU. This system also requires more internal space to be integrated, which makes rethink many times the internal structure of the terminal, which can be an engineering challenge.
More necessary than ever
Since its release, several iPhone 12 users have reported some problems with the device overheating. There are several times when this happens more easily. For example, when playing a graphically demanding game, which requires online connectivity and this is done under a 5G network. Improving the cooling system in the iPhone 13, will allow Apple to cure itself in salid and ensure a longer life of the various internal components.
