We investigate a version of the Phragmén--Lindelöf theorem for solutions of the equation $\Delta_\infty u=0$ in unbounded convex domains. The method of proof is to consider this infinity harmonic equation as the limit of the $p$-harmonic equation when $p$ tends to $\infty$.
Keywords: $p$-Laplace equation, $p$-harmonic equation, Growth estimate, infinity harmonic, Phragmén--Lindelöf principle, $p$-Laplacian..
