Apple’s top-end iPhone 15 Pro Max placed in the seventh spot with an average score of 1,546,274, even though it is equipped with the latest Apple Bionic A17 Pro chipset.
The iPhone 15 Pro even got a higher average score of 1,558,415 with the same chip.

The data is based on AnTuTu V10 ranking results and covers the period from December 1st to December 31st, 2023.
