Apple might have gmbar lucaha fix for overheating issues with the upcoming iPhone 17.

Building phones with vapor cooling heatsinks is pretty commonplace for Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel lineups.

This solution is slightly bulkier than traditional cooling methods, which might be why previous iPhones weren't built with this mechanism. Adopting a vapor cooling system will help maintain performance even during intensive use, such as gaming.
