When some review sites began comparing the performance of the iPhone 6S to that of the Macbook 2015, we knew we had to give it a similar water-based treatment...

Such HD, Such awesome!

LOL I misread the title and thought it said "Water cooling in the iPhone 6S" and immediately thought to my self "FFS people just call them heat pipes!!!" (thinking of marketing parallels to the new Lumia).

Please no linus stop ruining hardware

Which version of the A9 is in your Iphone 6S sample?

 

I suppose with the Samsung A9 suffering significantly in terms of battery life running Geekbench, it might be more susceptible to thermal throttling. Unless of course Apple designed their thermal solution to deal with the entirety of the Samsung A9's load profile, which they very well may have done.

well, it is linus, so you should have expected this to happen

I don't know what I was expecting, but god damn it Linus, stop putting things in water  :lol:

Linus clearly got some spare time whats the whole point of the video when you cannot really run arround with a bucket of icy water all the time, lol.

Calm down Linus, all those iPhones'll make you go bankrupt :^)

Eh, is this really "water cooling" though?

Should have overclocked the Android phones with a custom kernel just for the fun, if you're watercooling them anyway.

Those that follow Anandtech phone reviews would know that Android phones are usually the ones that thermal throttle, whereas iPhones consistent performance matches the peak performance of the throttling Android phones. (i.e. the 801 in the s5 vs the 5s' A7)

Does the Axon have the revised 810? If not it would have been nice to test the OPT to see if the 2.1 version actually us all it says it is.

Exactly my thoughts, heat will still build up inside a ziploc bag. I guess for practicality, it's impossible to truly water cool this sort of device and keep it usable.

question: could you use dry ice instead of  water? would you get better results?
