- According to the reports, a diagram shows the vapor chamber of the iPhone 17 pro max shows
- This is the third time we hear that this phone could have a steam camera.
- A steam camera would help keep the phone fresh, helping its sustained performance
At this point, it seems quite likely that the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a steam camera, as follows from two separate sources that say it, now we have seen a diagram of it.
This was shared by the developer of iOS @lusiroy8 in X (through the sand of the phone), and although they do not have a history of leaks, the fact that this is the third time we hear about a steam camera makes us think that there is a fair possibility that it is happening.
The image itself is not very detailed, but it seems that the steam chamber would be quite large if this is necessary, which could mean that it will be designed to keep the heat of the storage and the telephone ram, as well as the chipset.
A steam camera, for those who do not know, is a metal camera full of liquid, and that liquid becomes steam when it is heated. That steam then dissipates through the surface area of the camera, moving the heat of the internal components, especially the chipset.
This type of cooling system is already used in many Android phones, but until now Apple has been based on different and less effective methods to cool its iPhones, with current models that depend on graphite leaves.
Cooler and faster for longer
So, when changing to a steam camera, the iPhone 17 Pro Max should be able to stay cooler for longer, which in turn could help you maintain maximum performance for a longer time, since once a phone is heated too much, performance is usually reduced to help it cool. A steam camera could also help keep the phone colder to the touch and avoid heat damage to the components.
Therefore, there are many benefits for a steam chamber and, therefore, we hope Apple includes one. However, the big question is whether all iPhone 17 models will get a steam camera, only Pro models or only the iPhone 17 pro max.
This last leak refers only to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but a previous filtration pointed to its inclusion both on the iPhone 17 Pro and in the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the first filtration of the steam chamber suggested that the four models could have one.
However, we should find out which, if there is, soon having a steam camera, since Apple celebrates an event on September 9, where you will surely announce these phones.
