- Apple had previously released an iOS update to fix heating issues in iPhone 15 devices.
New Cooling System for iPhone 16
According to reports, Apple intends to integrate a novel cooling system with its next-generation iPhone 16 after receiving complaints from iPhone 15 users regarding heating problems. Leaks from Kosutami suggest that Apple is considering a significant thermal design for the iPhone 16, potentially incorporating a
graphene thermal system. Additionally, the Pro model of the iPhone 16 lineup might feature metal battery casings to further prevent overheating.
Previous Heating Issues and Apple's Response
Earlier reports from 9to5Mac's Ian Zelbo highlighted overheating problems with the iPhone 15. Zelbo even found it challenging to hold the smartphone without its case due to excessive heat. However, Apple initially denied any hardware flaws, attributing the issue to a bug in
iOS 17 and certain third-party apps that strained the processor. Therefore after this, Apple rolled out an update of its software dubbed iOS 17.0.3 meant to deal with overheating.
Apple to Support RCS Messages
In a significant move, Apple has reportedly announced support for RCS (Rich Communication Services) messages in iPhones. RCS considered the successor to SMS, offers enhanced messaging features like high-resolution photos, videos, and read receipts. Apple's adoption of RCS would improve interoperability between iPhone and Android users.
