Abstract: A thermal distribution assembly for an electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes an enclosure defined by a metal band and a non-metal bottom wall formed by glass, sapphire, or plastic. In this regard, the enclosure may include a relatively low thermal conductivity. However, the thermal distribution assembly provides heat transfer capabilities that offset thermal conductivity losses by using a non-metal bottom wall, and also provides added structural support. The thermal distribution assembly may include a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The first and third layers provide structural support, while the second layer provides a relatively high thermally conductive layer. The thermal distribution assembly includes sidewalls engaging and thermally coupling to the metal band, allowing the thermal distribution assembly to draw heat from a heat-generating component, and pass the heat to the metal band while minimizing or preventing temperature increases along the non-metal bottom wall.

Abstract: A portable electronic device (400) may include a housing (404) having a wall (407) defining an opening in the housing and at least a portion of four side surfaces of the portable electronic device (400). The portable electronic device may further include a display at least partially within the housing, a front cover (402) positioned in the opening in the housing and over the display, the front cover defining a front surface (432), a peripheral side surface (436) extending from the front surface (432) and at least partially surrounded by the wall (407) of the housing, and a notch (406) that, together with a portion of the wall of the housing, defines an acoustic port (401) of the portable electronic device. The electronic device (400) may further include an acoustic port cover (405) positioned at least partially in the acoustic port (401) and a speaker at least partially within the housing (404) and configured to direct sound through the acoustic port cover (405).
