The iPhone 17 Pro is cooler on the inside than it is the Outside

We can lift off the shield between the screen and the phone's internal hardware where the battery Wait, the battery is missing. Oh, there it is. It's attached to the midframe. I'm shocked at how reasonable Apple is being with this whole repairability thing. If Apple sells this battery already attached to the tray, this is actually a pretty chill repair. This is the same style of metal enclosed battery we saw last year with the electrically debonding adhesive strip under the metal case. The metal case around the battery adds an extra layer of protection against puncturing, which as we saw on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, can be a pretty smoky experience. The mid-frame also has the first ever Apple vapor chamber attached to it. This vapor chamber sits on top of the new A19 processor and keeps it cool so you can scroll through Fire memes more efficiently. If the chip overheats, it will throttle performance. Peeling back the graphite layer reveals that we still can't access the vapor chamber without pulling off the battery first. The vapor chamber appears to be very much a permanent part of that midframe, though. Android users have been familiar with these things for the past 9 years. Samsung's had one in their phones since the Galaxy S7 back in 2016. But for the Apple users just joining the party, the way a vapor chamber works is that a small drop of water gets inserted inside the chamber and sealed up at the factory. You can see the little droplets of liquid still inside the chamber. Then, as the processor heats up that drop of liquid, it evaporates, taking a lot of the heat energy at the hot end of the vapor chamber, traveling to the other side, condensing back into liquid, dispersing its heat and gets ready to repeat the process. Very similar to how an air conditioner uses phase change to cool down your house. The metal mesh inside helps wick that liquid back to the hotend so it can happen over and over. Between the charging coil, metal battery, and new age vapor chamber, the iPhone 17 Pro is turning out to be even cooler on the inside than it is on the
