   Unlikely that it's too late to come up with a better thermal solution in   
   the iPhone 16, if they already haven't done so, most likely vapor   
   chamber cooling like Samsung uses on the S23 series: "The Galaxy S23   
   series device applies a vapor chamber with enhanced heat dissipation   
   performance and expands the area of the vapor chamber by about 1.4–2   
   times compared to the previous model. In 2021 Kuo said that he believes   
   Apple is highly likely to incorporate vapor chamber tech into an   
   upcoming iPhone model. For the 15, they probably didn't realize how hot   
   the A17 Bionic would get.

   That is not necessarily the case. They have made minor changes mid-model   
   year in the past to address issues that didn't appear until the phone   
   was in mass production. In the interim, they could offer heat   
   dissipating cases. There are several available, i.e.   
      
   that are perforated to allow the heat to escape both from the back and   
   the sides and that use a heat spreader in the back to eliminate hot spots.
