iPhone 16: Apple develops graphene heat sink
The iPhone 15 series experienced overheating problems after its release, which were acknowledged by Apple. The company cited insufficient software optimization in iOS 17 as the cause.
The overheating problem has been significantly reduced with the release of iOS 17.0.3. However, there are reports that Apple is considering a more radical solution with a hardware upgrade in the next iPhone 16 series.

According to rumors, Apple is actively considering replacing the copper heatsink in the iPhone 15 with a graphene heatsink in the iPhone 16. Graphene offers higher thermal conductivity compared to copper and is expected to be a major upgrade in next year's iPhones.
According to the same rumours, the graphene heat sink will be combined with a new metal frame for the battery to promote better heat transfer and cooling.
