When I need to get my camera out real fast, it's almost always my phone and not my wife's phone. So I actually haven't built the habit of using the action button, even though hers is set to camera, because I'm never grabbing her phone real quick to take a picture because going over to where she is or getting her phone is going to kill the time that would be required anyway.

I'm looking forward to my iPhone 16 with the action button so that I can build that habit because I can almost guarantee that pressing that side button is going to have a much higher success rate than me trying to swipe or me having to hold my finger down on that little thing. Yep, very much so.

I have to say, though, how many years? I think it's been like three or four years that there have been rumors of better cooling on iPhones. Vapor chambers, graphite sheets. Not just this year. Not just for the iPhone 7U, but last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. And we have never gotten them. So I really, really hope this is the year. Because those rumors are always there.

And the reason they're there is every year, like, again, if you have a phone out in the sun, they will overheat, right? Or when you first update your phone and it's doing all the indexing, they get hot.

people don't like that and so they're always like boy could there be better cooling and then you look at what apple has done with cooling and we know they could do more because android phones are like what what more can we do can we can we do more than just having you know a heat sink up against the thing and so on and so forth and yes you can lots of other phone makers have done things and so whenever we see the rumors apple's gonna do it they're gonna put those graphite sheets in there they're gonna use more thermal paste they're gonna use a vapor chamber

Every year, we're just disappointed. And obviously, the 15 Pro had the... What the heck is the chip? The A18 Pro? I don't even remember the numbers anymore. Yeah, the one on the new 3nm process. Right. So it was a really... They were pushing the limits with that chip on that process that...

Apple's already moving away from, I kind of see why it had thermal issues, and I also kind of see why this would have been a good phone to try out those graphite sheets, you know what I mean?

Like, but no, it didn't happen, so I really hope it does come on the 16th, but if we go another year and everyone says, oh, those rumors were for the 17th, not the 16th, I am going to be disappointed, despite the fact that, in general, I haven't noticed my wife's phone getting particularly hot, except for when she's playing Pokemon Go, in which case that makes all of her phones hot, but...

You know, as long as it gets the job done, as long as it doesn't stop working, which is your problem when you have it in the car, like it literally stops being able to be used for the thing you're trying to use it for because the screen gets so dim you can't see it anymore.

I don't know if the 15 Pro was over any kind of limit to bother people more than some past phones, but it's time for Apple to invest a little bit more in cooling on their top end phones.

I think you're just experiencing screen improvements there and not necessarily thermal improvements, right? Very well could be. Just the screen is brighter and takes less power at a given level of brightness. So now the dim one is not as dim and you're attributing that to better cooling or better thermals. But I think it's just screen improvements that you're benefiting from there. But anyway.
