Apple files patent to address heat issues

While we don’t know how many patents does Apple own, we do know that the company recently showed off a quartet of new patent applications this week which were filed a couple of years ago which aim to address issues concerning power consumption and heat generation. In the patent application, it reads, “Heat dissipation is an important consideration in the design of such electronic devices. If this heat is not adequately dissipated, the electronic components may fail and/or cause damage to the electronic device.” While Apple products have not been known to overheat, it is good to see the fruity company do its part to keep things running cool and efficiently.
