Wanted to share this cause im curious what everyone else is getting on their 16 Pro / Pro Max, especially those running external cooling too.

been grinding Geekbench 6 runs on my 16 Pro Max units lately trying to see how far the A18 Pro can realistically go under ideal thermals.

Using a phone cooler, my highest run so far was 3618 SC / 9199 MC, with most of my avg runs landing around the 3570–3610 SC and 9060–9150 MC range. What honestly surprised me is how big of a difference the cooler made as my prev runs (weeks back) was around 3.4k SC / 8.6k MC… not sure if the prev dev beta versions of iOS 26 made an impact as well..

These test was done on all 4 at dvb ios26.5 (23F5069b), all at 100% bat health
