Apple is planning for big changes with the iPhone 17 Pro models this year, both inside and the exterior design. The new camera layout for the 17 Pro has been leaked via the rumoured cases, and now further credence has been given to the company bringing an advanced cooling system to keep the heating to a minimum. 

Apple has always tried to keep things exclusive to the Pro variant which is likely to happen this year as well. Apple has used a different material to manage the thermal levels on the iPhone but the new reported change means the company could up the ante with its performance later this year.

Vapour Cooling System: Why It Is Needed? 

Apple’s rumoured decision to use a liquid cooling system for the iPhone 17 Pro can be looked at in two ways. The good part is that the A19 Pro chip promises its best-ever performance bump, which explains the use of a cooling system.

However, this also means Apple is worried about the higher thermal levels of the upcoming hardware, which needs better management. 

The term liquid itself tells you that water is involved in the equation, and the cooling part is handling the overheating of a device, the iPhone 17 Pro in this case. We still don’t know how Apple plans to integrate the tech into its devices and not even sure if that will happen but it is intriguing just to look at the dynamics in play.

The funny thing is Apple is going to bring this system many years after Android brands have adopted it for their devices. Apple could bring the cooling system with different materials for both the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max variants this year. If Apple does make these upgrades, which cost more money, expect the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max prices to go up a level. 

The company is also planning to upgrade the iPhone 17 display to support 120Hz refresh rate but it is likely to miss the ProMotion tech which means the adaptive changes will not work on the base models.
