Jakarta –
Launching iPhone 15 series was greeted with a number of problems, including overheating. Apple doesn’t seem to want the problem to happen again iPhone 16 series and is reportedly developing a new cooling system.
Kosutami, an Apple prototype collector, claims that Apple is working on two hardware upgrades for the iPhone 16. These two upgrades are designed to improve passive cooling on the iPhone 16.
The first solution is to use a thermal system with graphene material. This new system will replace heatsink copper which is currently used in the iPhone 15 series.
Graphene does have a higher thermal conductivity than copper, about four times higher. Apple has also been interested in developing a graphene thermal system and has registered a patent related to this technology.
Another change that Apple will bring is replacing the battery shell iPhone 16 Pros being metal. This combination is expected to transfer heat better and improve cooling, as quoted from MacRumors, Friday (17/11/2023).
Apple previously changed the Apple Watch battery casing from black foil to metal. This change starts with the Apple Watch Series 7 and it is not impossible that similar technology will be brought to the iPhone.
Overheating problems were experienced by all four variants of the iPhone 15, especially the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max which use a new frame made from titanium. Users complain that cellphones heat up quickly even if they are only used for light tasks such as browsing social media.
A number of users speculate that this issue is caused by a hardware problem, due to the transition from stainless steel to titanium. However Apple denied the report and said the overheating issue was caused by a bug in iOS 17 and a number of third-party apps.
Apple then released the iOS 17.0.3 update to overcome the overheating problem on the iPhone 15. Not only that, Apple also emphasized that titanium offers better heat distribution than stainless steel.
