Apple should fix the worst thing about the iPhone 15 Pro by giving the iPhone 16 models a larger graphite sheet to prevent overheating.
A new iPhone 16 report from a reputable source seems to confirm a design detail that first leaked back in November. Apple has developed a new cooling system for the iPhone 16 models to prevent overheating.
That was the worst thing about the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max last fall. Plenty of reports detailed instances of the handset overheating while in use. Apple rushed a software update to fix the problem, and the iOS 17 update largely did it.
Still, as I said last year, it shouldn’t be just software that keeps the handset from overheating. The phone’s cooling system should physically move the heat the more advanced A-series chip generates away from it.
In November, a leaker from Japan said Apple was considering two solutions to prevent overheating in the upcoming iPhone 16 models.
