During iFixit's latest disassembly endeavor of the iPhone 17 Pro, they delved deeper into the scratch vulnerabilities and the fundamental cooling architecture of this particular model. The disassembly process unveiled that the pronounced edges of the iPhone 17 Pro's camera module caused an uneven application of the anodized coating. This unevenness rendered the surface susceptible to peeling-induced damage, ultimately leading to the formation of scratches. iFixit has issued a reminder to users, highlighting that this specific region is prone to wear and tear if a protective case is not employed. In terms of thermal management, the iPhone 17 Pro has, for the first time, incorporated a VC (Vapor Chamber) cooling system. This innovative design harnesses the principles of liquid vaporization and condensation cycles to efficiently distribute heat across the entire device, thereby bolstering its overall stability. Empirical tests have demonstrated that during high-intensity 3D Mark tests, the body temperature of the iPhone 17 Pro Max experiences a reduction of over 6℃ compared to its predecessor. Additionally, the heat is dispersed more uniformly throughout the device.
