Title: Apple to address iPhone 16 over-heating concerns with a revamped thermal design, according to report
Post by: Redaktion on November 17, 2023, 10:39:09
Apple is set to address overheating concerns in the upcoming iPhone 16 models by introducing a graphene-based thermal system, according to leaks from "Kosutami". This move aims to improve heat dissipation, particularly in the Pro lineup, showcasing Apple's commitment to resolving thermal challenges in future iPhone lineups, given iPhone 15 Pro's recent over-heating issues.

With this bit of news, isn't Apple thus confirming there is a cooling issue with the iPhone 15 Pro?

After showcasing the aluminium to titanium build intended to manage heat and that obviously didn't work out as expected, Apple "fixed" it by releasing an update that essentially throttles the phone's innards.

They didn't fix it by throttling the phone. There are numerous sources showing before and after geekbench scores with no change in scores.

I think the "fix" they are doing for the 16 is just making an improved thermal solution for future SoC's to enable better performance since every year the chips get more powerful and can pull a higher TDP.
