iPhones do not need such elaborate cooling as they do not require such power. That's why so many people stay with Apple once they try them and just need to phone to work for more than 2 years without excessive customization options.
I still wonder why Android phones need so much core power and ram amount while iPhones work the same or even a lot better with half or even less that amount.

It's especially funny when large RAM is combined with aggressive memory management (for the sake of lowering power consumption) eliminating probably the biggest benefit for end user - applications staying alive in memory.

However, unless there is a medium flowing through into which you can dump the heat, surface temperature correlates with power draw. The only thing using a less thermally conductive material achieves is increasing die temperature for any given surface temperature. So yes, if you have a glass back with aluminium frame, you could try bringing the temperature of the frame down and more in line with the glass back. But the back would have to get hotter to compensate (the heat has to go somewhere) and die temperature would go up as well. It could also mean higher operating temperature for the display. If you want to go beyond ironing out hot spots, you have to reduce power draw and therefore performance to get a device cooler to the touch.
Hopefully, that will mean an end to cheap aluminum foil phones and back to high quality polycarbonate instead. Well, unless you want your phone to burn you.
