iPhone 17 Pro to Use Advanced Cooling System for Better Performance

[Parowdy]

Those explanations don't make sense with respect to the iPhone Air. The regular Face ID fits into the even thinner current iPad Pro, so should fit into the iPhone Air without a bump as well. And if a thicker under-display Face ID fit into the thin Air only with bump, it should still fit into the thicker iPhone Pro without bump. But it doesn’t make sense anyway for the Air to get a Pro feature that the regular iPhone doesn’t.

Well, normal Face ID fits into the iPad bezel, at a point where there isn’t much around and no glass panel behind it.
In the iPhone it would be between the screen and the glass and metal. I don’t know if such a system would require more combined space by nature but maybe they‘ll just do it this way because having this bump to store different parts in makes it easier to implement them this year before they can/have to work on miniaturizing them for future releases. You know, like the first „all screen“ iPhone or the first Apple Watch display, they were both ugly the first time around.
I guess we will have to wait and see.

Thats such a cool packaged deal from Apple. Hopefully the cost will be cool as well.

I’ll say it again until I‘ll be forced to eat my words.
But that flash placement makes no sense.
And the only reason for why there might be a black camera mountain range, IMO, would be for under display Face ID or an upgraded telescope camera.

I’d love a great big telescopic zoom. 10x telephoto on an ultrawide 48mp would mean one camera does everything but 3D imaging on an iPhone Air 🤔 however, I’m wondering if the rumored vapor chamber cooler might warrant it. Was just watching a tear down of the ROG 7 Ultimate, and it had a raised fin assembly on the cooling plate. If you have to bump the camera *anyway* may as well extend the bump all the way across for cooling. LIDAR and flash aren’t part of the camera modules, so aesthetically, using them to bookend a heatsink looks better than having the flash in the middle and a black void going the rest of the distance across the back

I know it's just a mockup... but such a wide camera bump that yet still doesn't even cover all the cameras, and would still be wobbly on a table... is insane.

What do you mean by “still doesn’t even cover all the cameras”? Wobbly on a table really doesn’t matter once it’s in a case 🤷‍♂️
