Another year and another iPhone, but the trend is the same: to get a newer model. In the phone market, there is no other fanbase that we have seen for Apple products. If you think the iPhone 16 lineup was the most advanced and successful, you have to wait for the new series. The new iPhone 17, 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are way superior to their predecessors. The A19 Pro Bionic chip with a homemade Apple GPU is 30% faster and consumes less battery. The chipset made of 3nm and 12GB of RAM is sufficient to play high-quality games.
Apple’s iOS App Store has many new-gen games with extraordinary gameplay and HD graphics. Epic Games Fortnite is unavailable in the App Store due to the violations, but we have other options to dig out and play on new iPhones. Fortnite was surely one of the finest games in the industry, but other options like Free Fire & PUBG will fill the gap. With the high prices of the iPhone 17 series, you will get worthy features.
All the components with iOS 26 are capable of running any games for hours, and that is without any stops or other glitches. For such monstrous smartphones, these are the top 10 high graphics games. All games are supported on iPhone 17 series devices.
