Apple unveiled its latest iPhone yesterday, with the firm saying it’s able to run AAA games – a feature that was previously limited to its pricier Pro range.
The iPhone 16 features a new A18 chip which Apple claims makes it 30% faster over an iPhone 15’s CPU. The firm said that it means it’s “enabling demanding AAA games, as well as a big boost in battery life.” It went as far as saying that iPhone 16 “puts a powerful gaming device in users’ pockets.”
“Now with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, games on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus more accurately represent the behaviour of light with up to 5x higher frame rates than with software-based ray tracing,” Apple said. “Both models support the AAA games previously only available on iPhone 15 Pro.”
