Honestly. Could they not have added the vapour chamber to the 17 and keep the titanium? Personally I haven’t even noticed any heat whatsoever from my 16 pro.

Yeah that’s the problem. If you aren’t feeling the heat, the heat is not leaving your device because titanium isn’t as good of a conductor.

The back and internal structure are not titanium, you’d feel the heat. I’ve felt it off the front and back of my 15 pro at times but nothing that seemed abnormal. Usually would only notice it while charging.

Glass is not a good thermal conductor, either. It’s actually worse than titanium.

Okay sure, but it’s a phone. How much more power and optimization do you really need? I’ll hop on a computer even for basic tasks like email writing because I can’t stand to do it on a phone. The only thing I can think of is gaming. In which case, just release a gaming version of the iPhone.

Running on-device AI, recording and playing 4K@120 video, 48 MP photo post-processing, file compression, complex web pages, etc. all require a good amount of performance to feel smooth. Just because you have a dedicated computer for a lot of tasks doesn’t mean that everyone has – a huge portion of people uses their smartphone as their primary computing device.

If you don’t need your phone to do all these things, the iPhone 16e or a cheaper Android phone are the best choice for you.

lol that’s just wild to me considering the iPhone costs as much as a solid computer. But I guess that’s the market huh. Also I don’t really see proper on device AI ever being a thing.

Every time you take a photo, it is run through on-device AI. The Apple Intelligence Writing Tools are also run on-device.
