Powered by the A17 Pro chip that includes a 6-core GPU, Apple says the iPhone 15 Pro's processor will have the fastest performance of any smartphone currently on the market and will deliver support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing. In an effort to show consumers it is all in on gaming, Apple announced at its recent keynote that four AAA games, including Resident Evil Village and Assassin's Creed Mirage, are getting native versions exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro.

These aren't watered-down ports or cloud gaming versions of the game, either. They are native versions of big-budgeted games running on an iPhone 15 Pro.

IGN had the opportunity to sit down and interview several members behind the development of the iPhone 15 Pro. Specifically, the interview dives into Apple's gaming ambitions for the iPhone 15 Pro and why the tech giant believes "it's going to be the best game console."

Actually, the new iPhone invented gaming altogether. Apple just innovated again!

 

[Zzero]

Reminds me of the old I'm a Mac commercials where they claimed to have a better gaming ecosystem than PC (shear lunacy.)

But hey, thats marketting, they have to try.

It is not even the best handheld gaming device

Saw some interesting theories is that this is Apple trying to avoid getting their walled garden ecosystem pried open by EU regulations. Only Apple fans would be dumb enough to fall for this.

Afaik consoles have a carve-out exception to the new regs that require big walled garden platforms to allow other stores onto them

Who cares, they have no exclusive software or studios that would make them unique.

I don't understand the need or desire to have them enter the space.

Never underestimate Apple, they just entered the tv/film space and already have some of the best award winning shows/movies in the industry. I don't doubt that they could do the same with games if they wanted to.

Newsflash, android users are now the casuals it's not fair how far ahead of the competition Apple is.

Games are wayyyy more complicated than film though.

All you need for a film is a a few experienced producers and a decent director and they will hire the people they know are decent through their established networks.

Gaming crosses so many disciplines, takes so long and is so entrenched in existing platforms, TV and film was never entrenched... people dont care where the movie came from.

And sell it for $800 -$1500? I don’t think the high risk and slim margins of the console business would be attractive to Apple.
