It seems like the kind of thing a company like Apple could acquire, tightly integrate, and squeeze out a small margin above existing tech on a couple axes (eg. maybe it draws more power but makes room for a bigger battery, or maybe software can hyper-optimize when and how it's turned on)

Seems like a harder sell as an off-the-shelf component. I wonder if they're angling for an acquisition (by apple or otherwise)



Apple have already shown from their crippled Intel Macbook Pros that they care nothing for good cooling systems, and are more than happy to accept sub par performance as long as the design of the product is right. I cant see them jumping at the chance to aquire a cooling device company.


This smells _exactly_ like a move to drum up acquisition talks.


Exactly my read as well:

> AirJet isn’t a consumer product–consumers can’t buy it and modify their own MacBook Air, nor does Frore plan to create a kit for consumer sale.

This is aimed at Apple, and he doesn't want to offer it for sale? Acquisition.
