During this time, the game phones released by the Android camp, such as the Red Devil 7 series and other mobile phones, have used active heat dissipation methods such as wind cooling and heat dissipation, and many people's apple iPhones seem to be not concerned about heat dissipation. Not to mention stuffing the fan into the mobile phone to do active heat dissipation, even doing passive heat dissipation such as VC liquid cooling is too lazy to work hard, so what is the reason why Apple iPhone does not pay attention to heat dissipation? After reading this article, you may understand.
01 The actual test game tells you that the iPhone really needs to dissipate heat
We took the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Red Devil 7 to play "Original God" for about 20 minutes, and the picture quality was set to extremely high quality, with a frame rate of 60 frames.
The test found that the iPhone 13 Pro Max has an average temperature of 43.2 °C, a maximum temperature of 46.6 °C, and a minimum temperature of 38.0 °C. Since the frame is metal, you can also feel the obvious heat. The game has an average frame rate of 53, which runs smoothly, and there have been several stutters in the middle of the game.

The average temperature of the back cover of the Red Devil 7 is 41.3 °C, the maximum temperature is 44.0 °C, and the minimum temperature is 35.5 °C. Although the frame of the Red Devil 7 is also metal, it can feel a slight temperature under the blessing of heat dissipation methods such as fans. The game has an average frame rate of 59, runs smoothly, and there is almost no stuttering (the reason for the sharp drop in frame rate is that the game screen is loading).

Judging from the game test results of the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the Red Devil 7 playing "Original God", the iPhone 13 Pro Max did not perform well on both the temperature of the back cover and the frame rate of the game. Apple should pay attention to the heat dissipation of the iPhone.
02 iPhone does not do a good job of heat dissipation, not only because of the pursuit of beauty
As for why Apple's iPhone does not pay attention to heat dissipation, in the author's opinion, there are the following reasons:
First, Apple's design and pursuit of beauty in the structure of the iPhone do not require heat dissipation
As we all know, the heat dissipation materials inside the mobile phone need to occupy a lot of internal space, which is for the internal space of the mobile phone, the heat dissipation material occupies an inch more, leaving other parts less than an inch. If you want to install heat dissipation materials and other components at the same time, this will inevitably lead to thickening and heavier fuselage, which is difficult to accept for Apple's iPhone, which pursues a light and thin hand design.
The well-known dismantling agency iFixit once dismantled Apple's iPhone, and found that the internal structure of the iPhone is very compact, and the placement structure is simple and orderly, if the heat dissipation material is added, it will conflict with the simple design beauty principle inside the Apple iPhone.
Second, the combination of soft and hard Apple iPhone, can ignore the heat dissipation
Android camp = Google open Android system + third-party vendors to assemble hardware + open third-party app store, Android camp is equivalent to confederation, open, independent. iOS camp = Apple's iOS system + Apple's hardware + Apple's closed application ecology, the iOS camp is equivalent to a unified centralized nature, can concentrate on doing big things. The android camp's innate openness makes it inferior to the iOS camp.
For example, the same application software, running on different brands of Android phones, due to the difference in optimization and hardware configuration, there will basically be a large user experience gap. In order to better user experience, Android mobile phone manufacturers must pile up materials, including paying attention to heat dissipation, in order to obtain a better user experience.
Apple's iPhone is different, its hardware configuration is strong, coupled with a unified App Store to check the quality of application software, so that the iPhone can get a better user experience. Coupled with the fact that there is no comparison, it also makes the user not feel too much difference, heat dissipation and the like, which can be directly ignored.

Third, the user does not play the game for a long time, and the iPhone does not pile up heat dissipation and does not affect the overall user experience
Users buy mobile phones mainly for taking pictures, watching news, communicating and texting, and occasionally play games with mobile phones. This also means that there are not many scenes and times for heat dissipation materials to play a role, and Apple may think that there is no need to pile up heat dissipation materials for the scenes that are so hot for the game.
In addition, if consumers are not satisfied with the user experience of the iPhone playing games, they can buy an Android phone with better heat dissipation, and Apple is open to users buying An Android phone. Once upon a time, for consumers to call on Apple to open up third-party app installation, Apple CEO Cook directly recommended consumers to buy Android phones.
Fourth, Apple hardware performance is powerful, power saving mode is still smooth to play the game
As we all know, Apple's hardware performance has always been ahead of the Android competitors of the same period. Taking the A15 VS new generation Snapdragon 8 as an example, third-party data shows that in terms of CPU multi-core, the energy consumption ratio of the A15 is 570 points / W, while the new generation of Snapdragon 8 is only 343 points / W, lagging behind by nearly 40%; the same is true of the GPU energy consumption ratio, the new generation of Snapdragon 8 is 3.84 points / W, and the A15 is 6.84 points / W, almost only half of the level.
Apple's hardware performance is too powerful, so that the iPhone in battery-saving mode, can play a lot of games smoothly. The power saving mode is mainly to control the CPU power, as long as it is not too hot, it can be played smoothly, which also makes the heat dissipation material insignificant.
03 Summary
In summary, it is not that Apple's iPhone does not pile heat dissipation materials, but it is not yet time to pile heat dissipation materials. If one day Apple starts to pile up heat dissipation materials, perhaps consumers play games for a longer time, or perhaps Apple's combination of software and hardware has lost its advantages over Android. The question is can we wait until that day comes? This has to be a big question mark.
