Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 show the problem that needs to be solved

The Galaxy S25 is about 40% faster than its predecessor, but it tends to get hot. Meanwhile, although the iPhone 16 doesn't get as hot as the iPhone 15, users are still complaining about overheating, leading Apple to consider a cooling solution for the iPhone 17.

Instead of chasing processing speed, manufacturers should focus on innovation.

It all starts with the high-performance processors on them, which consume a lot of power and generate heat. To reduce heat, users need to limit the performance of the chip, which leads to the question "What's the point of high speed if the user experience is limited?".

Back to the iPhone 15 Pro overheating complaints, there have been rumors that Apple may be throttling the chip’s performance with software to fix the issue. It’s unclear what Apple has done, but many iPhone 15 and 16 users are still reporting that their phones are overheating frequently.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite chip also suffers from a similar situation, leading to the need to limit performance to maintain safe temperatures. When limited performance affects the user experience, then high processing speed is not much of a meaning.

Improved vapor chamber system not enough to cool Galaxy S25

It’s clear that phone makers need to come up with innovative cooling solutions instead of throttling the performance of the processor. The Galaxy S25 has been equipped with a better cooling system with a 40% larger vapor chamber and a custom thermal interface material. However, based on the number of complaints, the current cooling system is still not enough to handle the heat generated by the phone. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) features, the overheating problem may become more serious, forcing manufacturers to abandon passive cooling systems.

Smartphones today are no longer as exciting as they used to be. While they are fast, take great photos, and have intuitive user interfaces, AI applications are still lacking. Meanwhile, while foldable smartphones are interesting in theory, they have yet to gain mass appeal even with cheaper models.

This is why manufacturers rely on performance figures to market new products. The problem is, regular users don’t necessarily need blazing speeds like gamers do. If most smartphone tasks aren’t too resource-intensive, it’s time for the performance race to stop until manufacturers figure out how to dissipate heat more efficiently.
