The most fascinating thing about Apple's new iPhone Duo – and others like it – may not be that it folds. It may be the innovation required to keep it cool. Because at a time when performance demands from edge AI continue to increase, we’ve now taken available smartphone real estate and – though not exactly halved it – constrained it more than ever. And that impacts heat. Which impacts performance.

What makes the Duo interesting isn't simply the engineering required to create a folding phone. It's that Apple is confronting the same challenge every edge device manufacturer now faces: AI capability is increasing faster than our ability to manage the heat it generates.

That’s why I believe we’re entering a new phase of device innovation, with thermal design increasingly shaping what’s possible. In the edge AIera, managing heat...
