Why Do Smartphones Stay Cool Even When You're Streaming?

Think of your smartphone like a tiny engine inside a pocket-sized car. When you watch videos or play games, the phone works hard and gets warm, just like an engine. But it doesn’t melt because there’s a special cooling system that helps move heat away from the parts that are working the hardest. It's like having little fans inside your phone that help keep things cool so you can enjoy your favorite shows without burning your hand.
