Android OEMs have been implementing vapor chambers (VC) into their devices for years to help keep up with more demanding chipsets and thermal throttling. Apple, on the other hand, has continued to rely on heat sinks to cool its iPhones, but that is rumored to change with this year’s iPhone 17 series. A new report from China suggests that Cupertino will implement vapor chambers in all models of the iPhone 17 family (Pro and non-Pro).

Vapor chambers are sealed metal components with a small amount of liquid (usually de-ionized water) that evaporates when exposed to heat from the chipset. The vapor is then transferred to the surface of the chamber to dissipate heat and help cool the device effectively.
