Abstract
Apparatus and methods for thermal management of electronic user devices are disclosed herein. An example electronic device disclosed herein includes a housing, a fan, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a processor to at least one of analyze first sensor data generated by the first sensor to detect a presence of a subject proximate to the electronic device or analyze second sensor data generated by the second sensor to detect a gesture of the subject, and adjust one or more of an acoustic noise level generated the fan or a temperature of an exterior surface of the housing based on one or more of the presence of the subject or the gesture.
