Separate reports have also suggested that Apple could increase production of its first foldable iPhone to around 10 million units, up from an earlier estimate of seven to eight million units.

Apple introduced vapour chamber cooling with the iPhone 17 Pro series. The system is designed to transfer heat away from the A19 Pro chipset and spread it across the aluminium chassis, improving heat dissipation during demanding tasks.

Previous leaks have also suggested that the 20th-anniversary iPhone models could adopt vapour-chamber cooling. The commemorative lineup is rumoured to include two models with display sizes similar to the expected iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Earlier reports have further claimed that the anniversary iPhone could feature a redesigned glass exterior with an almost borderless display. The aforementioned tipster has also previously suggested that Apple intends to return to a glass-based design for the device and that manufacturing facilities linked to the project have already been upgraded.
