A Chinese leaker identified as Fixed Focus Digital posted on Weibo that Apple’s next iPhone Ultra will feature a vapor chamber and that the launch window has shifted.
The post, shared on June 1, shows a sketch of a side‑view diagram with a labeled “vapor chamber” next to the processor. No official specs were provided, and the leaker has not been corroborated by other outlets. Apple has not commented, and previous rumors about the Ultra focused on a larger sensor and a periscope lens, not thermal management.
If true, a vapor chamber could keep the high‑end chipset cooler during intensive tasks, potentially allowing higher sustained performance or quieter operation. That matters because Apple’s recent chips have hit thermal throttling limits in benchmark tests, and competitors already use similar solutions in flagship phones.
Until another source confirms the detail, the claim remains speculative—a reminder that not every leak translates into a production feature.
