iPhone 17 Pro: Vapor‑Chamber Cooling Rumored — Apple Event Tonight

Apple’s iPhone event starts tonight at 19:00. The keynote is expected to run about two hours and will be available as a livestream — although Apple has largely shifted to pre‑produced presentations since the pandemic.

One headline rumor ahead of the event: the iPhone 17 Pro could introduce vapor‑chamber (dampfkammmer) cooling as a central hardware change. Vapor‑chamber cooling spreads heat more efficiently across the device’s chassis, which can help manage higher sustained performance, improve thermal throttling, and potentially benefit camera sensors and battery longevity under heavy load.

Why it matters:

• Better sustained CPU/GPU performance during gaming and heavy tasks
• Improved thermal management for camera and video recording
• Potential indirect benefits for battery life if thermal throttling is reduced

These reports have appeared in Apple rumor circles; the change would be an architecture-level tweak rather than a headline consumer feature like a camera sensor or display redesign, but it could be important for power users.
