Your next iPhone could soon function as well as a gaming console.
Your new iPhone can play AAA games
The iPhone 15 Pro is powered by the all-new A17 Pro chip, with a special focus on improving GPU capabilities. This advanced “pro-class” GPU features a fresh 6-core architecture, which Apple claims improves both performance and power consumption. The device promises up to 20% faster GPU performance and introduces hardware-accelerated ray tracing for the first time.
"Ray tracing delivers better level design, better gameplay, and, as a result, a better user experience," Pavel Shkarpenin, the platform relations manager at MY.GAMES, told Lifewire in an email interview. "Apple has been saying for years that we can expect unprecedented quality and gameplay in our pockets. And by being able to bring an ultra-realistic feel to games through advanced lighting techniques like ray tracing, Apple can more effectively deliver on that promise."
The iPhone 15 Pro, which was recently unveiled at Apple’s Wonderlust Event, will come with a slate of AAA games, including native editions of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Apple also touted significant performance improvements and the introduction of ray tracing for an enhanced gaming experience on iPhone.
