Apple announced their latest line of iPhone yesterday, the “Awe Dropping” event took place in Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California and was streamed to tech enthusiasts worldwide. The event saw the release of the usual iPhone line-up—iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max— with the addition of the latest iPhone 17 Air.
Can You Play GTA VI on iPhone 17?
At the launch, Apple talked about their latest and greatest mobile chip, their A19 Pro chip that utilises the 3-nanometer technology. This prompts the question of whether the latest iPhone chip is capable of running the most talked-about game of recent times, GTA VI.
In their segment regarding the iPhone 17’s performance, Apple talked about their latest A19 Pro chip that boasts a 6‑core GPU with Neural Accelerators. They claimed that on the performance front, the phone delivers the highest performance on an iPhone ever. They said the phone is ideal for advanced gaming and the most demanding tasks. In their announcement, they said that the phone delivers “MacBook Pro levels of compute…perfect for GPU-intensive AI workloads.”
Going by these claims, the possibility of the iPhone 17 running GTA VI does not look that far-fetched. However, nothing concrete can be said before the reviews.
