iPhone 16 to use large graphite sheet to reduce heating

Apple will bring a large graphite sheet inside the iPhone 16 series to improve cooling and reduce heating. This was one of the core issues with the iPhone 15 Pro lineup.

TheInformation reported that the iPhone 16 will use a graphite sheet inside the chassis to address potential overheating.

Similar solutions have been applied to the iPhone 15 at a small scale but the problem primarily affected Pro and Pro Max devices with new titanium material. Although titanium is more light and durable than aluminum but it led to random heat increases.

The company addressed this issue with a software update but its fragments still haunt some iPhone 15 Pro users. Learning from experience, Apple likely to make drastic changes in the cooling section.

Parts of a smartphone, such as a chipset, generate a significant amount of heat. This heat needs to be managed otherwise it could create a number of problems including throttling, random shutdowns, and even damages.

The thermal graphite sheet can help to dissipate the heat away from these components by transferring the heat through direct contact. It works as a carrier and flows heat from the components to the sheet.

It distributes this heat to a large area such as the metal frame of the smartphone. By cycling this process, the phone maintains its normal operating temperature in intense use cases.

Apple will release iPhone 16 series later this year and it will come with new upgrades.
