Vapor chambers are in laptops already. Mostly gaming laptops, because they need help getting the heat away from GPUs.

The miniaturisation of vapor chambers is cool, though. Not new (phones have been coming out with those for years), but it's not "just" another heatpipe.

I think that the fact that more and more phones producing so much heat that they need vapor chambers is also something worth writing about.

That said, most news media seems to have drunk the Apple kool aid because they all rave about the vapor chamber for some reason. I guess iPhone media is just a few years behind the curve.
