Given that this has an M2 and a dedicated sensor processing chip the size of an M2 I have a feeling the power draw and heat generated would be unusable with a phone in a pocket. I bet they'll go in this direction with a non-Pro version in four years or so when chips catch up.



true i read the m2 on ipad 2 gets hot when playing games. And iPhones don’t have fans.

Maybe it’s apple trying to push the limits of this tech, a16 bionic compared to m2 is like 40% slower in the various computational performances so won’t be surprised to see the form factor show up in android devices soon for sure.
