Apple organized its big annual iPhone event on Tuesday, showing the next Ultathin iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, Airpods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE 3 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. There were a few video game mentions during the show, but in a sequence showing the new camera for the iPhone 17, it was difficult to ignore that this particular plan looked like this Theft Auto 6.
Megan Nash, a product manager for iPhone, spoke during the event of the new 48 megapixel main camera from the iPhone behind it was an emblematic backdrop of a band of Miami which asked if Apple would perhaps announce an agreement with the Rockstar games.
A thread on the subtract of GTA entitled Apple is Apple just teasing GTA VI on iPhone? appeared shortly after the Nash sequence in the iPhone event. Most posters on the wire joked and reminded everyone that the fictitious vice-city is based on the real Miami. The next GTA 6 takes place in the fictitious state of Leonida, a parody of Florida, with one of the cities that players can visit vice-city.

Cnet contacted Apple and Rockstar games in case. None of the two companies immediately responded to a request for comments.
GTA 6 was to be released this year, but Rockstar Games announced in May that it was delayed. The new date is currently set for May 26, 2026.
On the other hand, the iPhone Air, the iPhone Pro and Pro Max have A19 pro chips with a more powerful GPU of six cores (at least for the last two), which, according to Apple, has “macbook pro calculation levels … perfect for IA workloads with high GPU intensity”. If Apple compares the performance of the A19 Pro with that of a MacBook Pro (although the MacBook Pro, in particular, we do not know), it is possible that GTA 6 is playable.
GTA 6 is undoubtedly the most awaited game to come for the current generation of consoles, and there have been speculation that it could be at a price of $ 100. It is much higher than the current price of $ 70 for most games, although Nintendo has started to publish new games for $ 80 on its Switch 2.
PRETERIALS for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air will start at 5 a.m. on Friday September 12.
