Graphene instead of copper: after iPhone 15 overheating problems Apple will improve iPhone 16 cooling system

This year Apple faced a serious problem - overheating of smartphones of the iPhone 15 lineup, because of which it received a large number of complaints and criticism. It seems that the company is already working on the mistakes.

Here's What We Know

Many call the cause of overheating the frame, which this time is made not of stainless steel, but of titanium. But Apple assures that the problem is not hardware, but software: it lies in a bug in iOS 17 and some third-party apps that overloaded the processor. The company has already released iOS 17.0.3 update with a fix for the problem.

Despite this, insider Kosutami reports that Apple may improve the cooling system of the iPhone 16 smartphones next year in two ways. The first way is to install a graphene heat sink. The current heatsink is made of copper, and graphene provides about 4 times better thermal conductivity and also reduces weight. The second way is to make the battery case metal, which will also have a positive effect on heat dissipation.
