Cold drink can boosts iPhone 18 Pro’s average performance by 25%
Technology enthusiast and developer Matt Birchler tested an unconventional cooling method on Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro smartphone. He placed a can of La Croix sparkling water taken from the refrigerator on the back of the phone. As a result, average performance under a sustained load increased by about 25%. The aim was to partially prevent the processor from losing speed as the phone heated up.
Birchler tested the A20 Pro processor in the iPhone 18 Pro using a speech-to-text test. Under normal conditions, the first test produced a result of 447.9 words per second. After the 7th test, the speed fell to just over 320 words per second. This figure did not change significantly through the 20th test. This is because the phone automatically reduces the processor’s speed to protect the chip and other components from high temperatures. The test using the cold can consisted of 20 stages, and the initial result reached 429.5 words per second. This is slightly lower than the initial result in the standard test. However, the average speed across all stages was 400.4 words per second. The phone was therefore able to operate at a higher speed for longer. During the experiment, the device was kept with its screen facing down, while the can of sparkling water was placed on the back panel.
It is normal for portable devices to slow down when they heat up. The system does this automatically to lower the temperature and protect the components. A separate cooling device is not needed for everyday use. However, prolonged gaming, taking photos and videos, and editing can slow the phone and dim the display after several minutes. Although a cold drink can reduces this effect, it is not a convenient method for everyday use. Coolers such as the Black Shark Magnetic Phone Cooler 6 Pro are available for gamers. Accessories such as the SmallRig Universal Hyper Chill Cooling Phone Cage and Tilta Khronos Advanced Kit are also available for video creators. Some enthusiasts have even attached a cooler designed for an SSD to the back of an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Such devices can reduce the loss of speed when the phone is operating under a heavy load. At the same time, they make the device heavier and harder to hold, while also draining the battery faster.
