Ars Technica has published its review of the iPhone 18 Pro, characterizing Apple's latest flagship as its "coolest" handset to date—in a strictly literal, thermal sense.

The review centers on the device's heat dissipation and operating temperatures. While modern flagship smartphones often struggle with heat during intensive tasks, the testing indicates noticeable improvements in thermal management and overall device cooling.

However, the critique suggests that while physical thermals and hardware efficiency show clear progress, the phone might not deliver as many groundbreaking or "cool" feature leaps as some mobile enthusiasts might expect.
