Apple’s special event this week revealed its new phone lineup, including a new iPhone 17, a super-thin iPhone Air and the flagship iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max. The Pro range has pushed the boundaries once again in terms of photography and processing, featuring a new A19 Pro chip, which Apple says has the fastest CPU in any smartphone and thanks to an extra bit of engineering, it can perform even faster.
As teased in the original event invite, the iPhone 17 Pro features a vapour chamber within the new aluminium unibody to improve thermal management. When processors are working hard, they produce heat, but if that heat isn’t dissipated, it can slow down the performance. This is why laptops often have fans – to help bring in cool air around the processors and expel warm air.
