Water or another kind of liquid is evaporated by the heat coming from key internal components, with the thermal energy then spread out through the whole of the casing.The improved cooling means less risk of overheating, and potentially faster speeds for driving apps and graphics on screen. According to Kuo, Apple has been working on the tech for some time, though it hasn't yet been deemed to be of a high enough standard to include in the company's smartphones.Vapor chambers on smartphones aren't actually new – Huawei included one , for example, and we know that Microsoft has been as a potential option for keeping its mobile devices running cooler.Especially under extended periods of high stress – so in games and other demanding apps – CPUs and GPUs will sometimes have to throttle themselves in order to keep the components from overheating and causing a system crash.More advanced cooling would help solve that problem, keeping the iPhone cool to the touch no matter how it was being used. With no official word from Apple though, we may have to to see if it gets included in the iPhone 13.Other changes being tipped to arrive with the iPhone 13 include the introduction of , which would presumably mean Touch ID is coming back too. The same source suggests the Lightning port could be ditched as well.Sign up to get breaking news, reviews, opinion, analysis and more, plus the hottest tech deals!Thank you for signing up to TechRadar.
