MODERATORS
They announced a partnership with Cooler Master, which to me suggests that that is not the case.
They already work with Cooler Master. I believe they designed the cooling for the laptops and this case.. And why would Cooler Master work on a tablet and not a phone, phones need cooling to lol?
Read the article my dude
They wouldn't work on either because that's not the type of products they make.
Phones don't have much on the way of cooling
I did read it, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here?
I'm afraid I don't know how to be anymore clear
You can tell me how the quote from the article connects to what I said and what led you to believe I didn't already read it.

That's an external cooler attachment...
Yes
...it's not a phone?
No, it's not a phone. That's the "Cooler Master Cryo Phone Cooler". It's a phone cooler that attaches to the back of your phone to provide additional cooling while gaming and what not. So when you said
Not really true, Cooler Master had already made a cooler for phones. It's not much of a stretch to say they might release another product in the phone category.
No, it is very true. Building a glorified clip-on fan is not the same thing as making a phone.
What's your point, nobody said it was?
I mean I feel like that's pretty clearly what you were insinuating, but if not then I'm not sure what YOUR point is.
The point is not only that phones don't have cooling systems (outside of niche devices like RedMagic and ROG) but that CM has no experience with that sort of thing, so its unlikely to be a phone because they would not need CM's investment for that.
If Framework made a modular phone then CM could make a modular similar to the one I linked that could attach to the FW phone. Or the phone wouldn't involve CM at all and they're working on a different product altogether.
What do you think the next Framework/Cooler Master collaboration is?
