According to him, the issue is in the cooling system of smartphones in general. The overheating is likely caused by “thermal design compromises” that allowed Apple to reduce the weight of the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max models. Kuo says the reduced heat dissipation area and titanium body negatively impacted heat dissipation efficiency.

Huaweis capacity is limited Huawei Mate 60 smartphones will not

The Huawei Mate 60 series of smartphones caused a stir after the announcement; smartphones are actively selling out. However, Huawei officials have confirmed that the Mate 60 series will not be released in overseas markets.

Yong Hai noted that Huawei was originally expected to release 5 to 6 million Mate 60 series smartphones, but now Huawei’s plans are “increasing more and more.” He added that Huawei mobile phones have not been sold in the Taiwanese market for 3 years. Sales channels, stores, service centers require reinvestment, so Taiwan will not be a priority market for the Mate 60 series at this time.

Yesterday, Huawei introduced the top model of this line, which was called Huawei Mate 60 RS Ultimate Design. IT Home was the first to publish unboxing photos.
