New Apple Ad Highlights iPhone 17 Pro's Vapor Chamber Cooling

Apple has published a new ad for the iPhone 17 Pro on its YouTube channel, highlighting the device's vapor chamber cooling and A19 Pro chip.


Titled "Peak Performance," the minute-long ad opens with a man running through an arid desert landscape when storm clouds coalesce above him. A drop of water falls from the sky and evaporates on his forehead, providing him with super-human performance and multitasking ability. A voiceover says:

The Apple A19 Pro chip is vapor cooled. Because when you run cool, you can push your limits. And juggle over 35 trillion complex tasks a second. Just imagine if we were that powerful...

As the man continues to run, he plays the keys on an elongated piano while solving a Rubik's cube with one hand, then breaks through a wall and dashes through a room of singers, before smashing through another wall and eclipsing the camera view.

Apple overhauled the thermal design of the iPhone 17 Pro models, adopting a vapor chamber cooling system. With the vapor chamber system, a small amount of deionized water moves heat away from the A19 Pro chip and distributes it throughout the iPhone's aluminum unibody frame. Apple says the design allows for 40 percent better sustained performance for demanding tasks.

Starting at $1,099 for the Pro and $1,199 for the Pro Max, the iPhone 17 Pro models are more expensive than the $999 iPhone Air and the $799 iPhone 17, but they have the most advanced feature set available in the iPhone line.

Apple used to focus on why their products are better than the competition and how they enrich people’s lives in promotional campaigns.

Now they are just cringeworthy and show no actual real world benefits. They’re getting worse and worse as the years go by.

Love how many Pro owners, which frankly used to include me before getting the base 17, use their phones for average day to day tasks and will never use anywhere close to the peak performance available anyway.
Cameras are a big seller for a lot of people. It would be interesting to see how Pro sales would be affected if Apple put the best 3 lens camera system in the standard model as well.

Apple marketing is grasping at straws. This resonates with how many people?

"Our phones get so hot we had to put water inside to keep them cool."

What happens if the phone gets really cold?
