TL;DR
Apple built a flexible graphite pipe into the iPhone Duo hinge to dissipate excess heat between the two chassis halves when folded.
Combined with an unstacked A20 Pro SoC and vapor chamber, the active thermal hinge helps maintain peak performance for longer under heavy loads.
Android foldables have used graphite sheets as part of the display stack or on the chassis on either side of the spine, but have not typically used the spine itself for co
