New Apple video highlights vapor chamber liquid cooling in iPhone 17 Pro | Screengrab water droplet with the strap line: Vapor cooled for serious performance

One of the new features of the iPhone 17 Pro is a liquid cooling system known as a vapor chamber. Apple has today highlighted the benefits of this in a new video on its YouTube channel, called Peak Performance.

The minute-long video opens with a man running in a desert and a drop of water falling from the sky to land on his forehead with a sizzle …

One of the limiting factors for exploiting the full performance of an advanced processor is heat. Once a chip hits its maximum operating temperature,

Apple announced the redesigned last October. It’s by no means a new product at this point, and it’s nearly a year old. However, I think it may be one of Apple’s greatest gifts to up and coming creators, developers, and all sorts of creative professionals.

It’s no secret that Apple Silicon has enabled Apple to ship far more performant chipsets in lower end machines. Before the transition to Apple Silicon, a being able to edit 4K video sufficiently was nothing but a
