Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max have become the best iPhones for gaming thanks to a new feature: a sealed vapor chamber cooling system. This system uses deionized water inside a laser-welded aluminum unibody to spread heat evenly, improving thermal performance significantly.
With this cooling tech, the iPhone 17 Pro can deliver up to 40% better sustained performance than previous models. This means you can play demanding games like Resident Evil, Assassin’s Creed, or Genshin Impact for longer without the phone overheating or slowing down due to thermal throttling.
Besides gaming, this new cooling also helps with long video recording sessions in high-quality formats like ProRes RAW, allowing smoother performance and less battery drain.
Powered by the powerful A19 Pro chipset and built with a durable aerospace-grade aluminum body, the iPhone 17 Pro series also offers better battery life, faster charging, and advanced camera systems with improved optical zoom and AI features.
The new iPhone 17 Pro models will be available in colors like deep blue, cosmic orange, and silver and iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099 in the US. In India, the base model is priced at around ₹1,49,900. The iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,299 in the US and about ₹1,79,900 in India, with pre-orders starting September 12, 2025, and availability from September 19, 2025.
This cooling innovation marks a big step forward for iPhone gaming and overall performance, delivering a smoother and more enjoyable experience for users who demand the best.
