iPhone 17 Pro Max AAA gaming test shows Resident Evil 4 running at 60 FPS without thermal throttling


The iPhone 17 Pro Max introduces the new A19 Pro chip and a vapor chamber for improved performance. To test how these upgrades translate to real-world gaming, YouTuber MrMacRight ran benchmarks across several AAA titles in their latest video.

To see how the chip actually performs in real life, YouTuber MrMacRight tested 10 AAA games on Apple’s latest top-of-the-line flagship, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and the results were impressive. These results confirm that the A19 Pro is a major leap forward for mobile gaming, especially in maintaining stable performance without rapid thermal throttling. For a deeper dive, including tests on Hitman, Sniper Elite 4, Subnautica and more, you can watch MrMacRight’s full video where he breaks down all ten games in detail.
