During the launch of the iPhone 15, Apple reserved a significant portion of its time to promote games. This marks a major development in the field of mobile gaming. We can therefore ask ourselves the following question: might the iPhone 15 Pro replace game consoles?
Top console games on the iPhone 15 Pro
Among the announcements made, we noted the arrival of high-level console games playable on the iPhone 15 Pro. These include in particular the remake de Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village et Death Stranding. This move raises questions regarding the distinction between the iPhone and dedicated portable gaming devices, like the Steam Deck.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage on the iPhone 15 Pro
Ubisoft also plans to make Assassin’s Creed Mirage available on iPhone 15 Pro in addition to traditional game consoles. This version will benefit from ray tracing for dynamic lighting effects, thus amplifying the influence of the iPhone on the game.
The iPhone as a gaming platform
Indeed, the original iPhone had a major impact in opening the doors to third-party developers. However, it has never competed with consoles or PCs when it comes to gaming. With the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple now has the opportunity to assert itself as an essential platform.
L’iPhone 15 Pro will therefore welcome releases of big games from major studios such as other game consoles. THE A17 Pro processor, powering it, is comparable to those of devices like the Steam Deck or the Asus ROG Ally. Pairing it with accessories like the Backbone One USB-C controller promises to make standalone gaming devices obsolete.
Challenges and issues
However, challenges remain, particularly in terms of developing on iOS versus Windows. Apple is making progress with compatibility tools. Another crucial issue is the relationship with game developers, which differs from that of console manufacturers.
Apple has made progress in this direction thanks to Apple Arcade. However, an increased focus on the Pro model might have a significant impact. The iPhone 15 Pro is therefore Apple’s first step into the world of gaming consoles.
The A17 Pro and the future of the iPhone as a gaming console
The A17 Pro is expected to be introduced into the lineup next year. Furthermore, thanks to advances in processors, the entry-level iPhone might quickly emerge as a competitive gaming platform.
Additionally, on-board video capabilities, as well as support for various controllers, might potentially transform Apple’s smartphones. The iPhone 15 Pro would thus become not only a portable game console, but also a home console.
The future of the iPhone as a gaming console looks bright. It seems to be paving the way for a new standard in the gaming industry.
