      When the outside temperature is almost as hot as the phone itself, air cooling doesn’t do anything

        Hardware components (at least the ones that produce the most heat) are built to withstand over 90C for desktop computers, for devices with bad thermals (such as phones) they tend to be designed to withstand above 100C.

        Air cooling would help a lot, even for 50C weather. It’s just less effective the warmer it is.
