The innovation is expected to be used for the upcoming iPhone models of Apple. Kuo added that it is not yet confirmed if the tech giant manufacturer's new technology will be ready for this year of 2021.

According to Apple Insider's latest report, that the new vapor chamber, also known as VC, will evaporate the water that sips in an iPhone. This new feature will prevent the iPhone from malfunctioning because of accidental water spills.

The innovation will use a specialized heat retention structure or heat pipe that will evaporate the water that sips in a smartphone chassis.

On the other hand, iPhone's processors and other high-load electronic components' heat will cause the liquid to evaporate. The vapor will spread thermal energy through the evaporation chamber as it travels to areas of lower pressure.

When it comes to other condenser bodies, such as fins, the heat is removed from the vapor. This process will return to a liquid state and is carried back to the device's areas that have high pressure through capillary action.

Apple hasn't announced any details yet regarding the VC systems' release. This is because the giant manufacturer is not yet satisfied with the early results.
