It's interesting, isn't it, that they dedicate significant internal space to that heat pipe for better thermal management. However even so, neither chip (I assume, more testing needed) catches the A11s sustained performance over time.
Makes me wonder what a heat piped version could do, or let alone an actively cooled one. The Apple TV 4K has an actively cooled A10X which is cool, but with more limited apps and games taking advantage of it, imagine an actively cooled A11X clamshell running iOS or something. I'd actually love to see Apple start small internal studios, or partially fund other studios, to take advantage of the impressive actively cooled chip in the A10X.
Well, there isn't much space in there for a "heat pipe" ;-). In fact, it's obvious Apple has a lot more tech in their smaller phones and yet get the same specs.
If you look at Ipad performance, you probably get an idea of what a heat pipe would do (since there is more space for heat dissipation).
I know there isn't, which is why I wonder what sustained performance would be like with the A11 in a larger chassis with room for it. The iPad is a data point, but the Pros have the A10X which has a significantly larger GPU still and three Hurricane rather than Monsoon cores, and the non-Pro is still on an A9, no real direct comparison.
Anyways, what I'd really love to test the performance of is the upcoming A11X, but with an actively cooled model with heat pipes in a clamshell. Or really push an A11X Apple TV with game developers.
Also /r/suspiciousquotes lol, a heat pipe is a thing

It's been decades since I had courses in Heat Transfer, but what you want to do is maximize heat flux from the component, in this case the SOC, ideally as close to the cold source as possible, which is the exterior surface of the phone housing, while still meeting the total dissipated power (TDP) of the SOC. If meeting that TDP is difficult through a high thermal flux heat spreader, then Heat Pipes can be a great alternative to move some or all of the heat flux to a better/larger surfaced cold source.
I would guess that iPad's have a relatively larger heat spreader surface than iPhones, and dissipate a higher heat flux to maximize the TDP of the SOC at sustained operation, still with passive cooling.
Let's see: it costs as much as iPhone X, a choice of three authentication methods instead of just one on iPhone -- but none of them works (and the iris scanner will blind you), a guarantee that you will NOT get timely OS updates making your phone an ideal target for hackers, and half the CPU performance of the latest iPhones, who buys this garbage?
How many times is "hacker" tossed around with smartphones, yet considering there's billions of 'em in use the actually "hacking" is pretty rare.
I'd have to assume the "right to repair" bills that are being introduced here in US would have to affect Samsung phones too. That's going to have just as much effect on them as it will Apple. Maybe I'm listening in the wrong places, but I'm not hearing of them doing any opposition to the bills, instead they're just leaving Apple to do the heavy lifting.
How is that different than what Samsung normally does?

It seems like iFixit discouraging people from buying the new Galaxy S9. But, I think let’s buy the phone and see its magic. If in a case any problem arises in S9, Samsung will always be there to help its users even they can replace the device if the problem is big.
iFixit is on a constant tirade against Apple yet their own tests show the Samsung flagship product to be harder to repair than the iPhone X. Go figure.
No they're not. As this article shows, they test all sorts of consumer electronics. The more popular the more attention they get, which is why you're mostly familiar with iFixit teardowns for Apple products.

How many times do they mention "...companies like Apple" vs "...companies like Samsung"?
And? Apple has the biggest mindshare so it would be folly not to mention Apple when they have a chance, and yet most of all their repair guides cover non-Apple products which goes against whatever argument you're trying to claim that makes them only care about repairing Apple products or being some anti-Apple company.

Anyway soli, I know what you were getting at. Agree. Apple, always three steps ahead.
Defne rare.
