 Yeah, that action button is going to be pretty useful on the iPhone 15 Pro line Hey guys, Thundie here and welcome to the video been waiting for gaming on the iPhone 15 Pro and the Pro Max Now before we go ahead and start I just want to let you know that I can't show you any FPS readings because none of my Benchmark tools for FPS actually are updated if I was 17 or the iPhone 15 Pro that being game bench and of course perf dogs So I can't show you of that now if you want to I will put that video up on the gaming channel But that being said we will look at temperatures battery drain and what kind of console gaming performance Apple is giving us on the iPhone 15 Pro line now The first thing I want to talk about is the action button and you're going with thunder E What does it have to do with anything for gaming? You saw it right there beginning of the video I can pick up my device and go straight into the game. I want to play it I love that. It's a simple feature nothing too sexy about it but it takes me straight into the game and whether I'm my game is paused or I Restarting wherever the case may be I get back to the spot where I was and I can continue my gameplay sessions So I do like that with the action button I think it's a very key gaming feature because now you can map any game you want now Speaking of gaming Apple talked about console level gaming on the iPhone 15 Pro line you talked about Resident Evil Village, which you're going to be seeing in this video Resident Evil 4 remake which I've been playing since GameCube I might be playing this game for the rest of my life Also talked about the new Assassin's Creed Death Stranding a division game all that Console level on this device now you wonder what are we getting is it PS4 console PS5 Xbox Series X Doesn't matter really right it all what matters is the processor And that's something that's really intriguing because Apple is going with the A17 Pro It's not a something biotic and what that means for us is something clearly different at least from their perspective We do have some really interesting performance boosts from this chipset that Apple is touting and I'm going to show you first off Apple talked about having six cores in the GPU With 20 up to 20% performance of boost on that GPU a 10 performance boost on the CPU And they talked about the fact it's called built-in hardware ray tracing as well Which gives us some really good lighting effects in different areas and also just better visual fidelity But I also like the fact that they do have FX metal FX upscaling So of course give you some really nice upscaling textures and different things within your gameplay But what does that mean in terms of numbers? Well, you know what we do have Geekbench 6 to see what this actually brings to the table and in terms of performance Let's look at what we get for both devices now the 15 pro and the 15 pro max will have slightly different numbers because of the size But in terms of single core the 15 pro is 2,925 while the pro max is 2,908 while multicore for this for the 15 pro is 7,265 compared to 1,194 on the pro max those are impressive numbers for these devices and much higher than last year to give you perspective the 14 pro and the pro max from last year had single cores of a thousand eight hundred and eighty one and a thousand 861 respectively multicore five thousand four hundred and thirty three and five thousand four hundred and one respectively that is a Over one thousand boost on single core and over a almost a two thousand boost on multicore So what does that mean for our gameplay? Well resident evil village played really well and played rather smoothly You can see how it looks it looks really nice Performance is really solid, but also the game is locked at 30 frames per second. We look at the settings here It's locked at 30. This is a beta by the way. I'm gonna just State it again. It's a beta 30 frames per second resolution is 1560 by 720 So we're getting 720p resolution and I can't change any of the settings So hopefully in the final game, I will be able to do that But I was able to see what they meant by some of those Of course the great tracing elements the lighting elements the textures, you know the assets and details Apple also said These are the same assets you will find in your console game And yes, I have played resident evil village. It looks rather the same now How would I compare it to a console game? This recount reminds me more of playing a game off Xbox game pass in terms of streaming where it looks really good But of course you're playing at a lower resolution and sometimes with Xbox game pass You get that drop in resolution because of your internet connection So you might go from 1080p to 720 so I am playing on 720 now But it looks good and everything Apple claims looks the way it should but don't believe me Take a look at some of my gameplay sessions and just how I die constantly in this game It looked really good and it sounds really good the audio speaker off the iPhone is solid And I know some of you will be asking for a speaker test I will do that if you want to on the gaming channel board gamer Stay tuned and check it out there. Now when it comes to temperatures how are temperatures off? The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max while playing game like resident evil so console level game Well, I got temperatures about a hundred and nine degrees while playing this and you can see that that's actually not bad That is in line with with certain mobile devices Playing mobile games, but again, this is pretty solid and I think that I think a lot of people will like it in that respect Plus, you're not holding the phone. You're using a controller here. What about mobile games now? You're going. Okay, we've seen that. What about the games? We usually play right? What about Call of Duty mobile? Well, Call of Duty mobile ran really well I was able to play of course on ultra medium settings flawlessly using the controller without the controller it played solid as well PUBG mobile the same thing playing at extreme HDR or Ultra HD ultra gaming performance was really good. You could see it. It's felt smooth and very solid now Sure, these games are not optimized yet for this chip set So we might see higher performances, but we'll have to wait and see now, of course I got to bring up Genshin impact This is a game that terrorizes a lot of gamers in whatever they do now Genshin is one of those games where of course we see high temperatures and also slow down performance Now I can't give you the FPS readouts yet But I can tell you that it did run really smooth while playing of course This is playing for about 20 to 25 minutes and in terms of performance It was solid I was playing at 60 frames per second extreme settings and it showed really well and it ran smooth But here's the kicker temperatures temperatures on Genshin impact were tremendously high at 112 degrees at its highest So that's roughly around 42 to 43 degrees Celsius and you can see how This can affect your gaming sessions. I also did notice that yes The iPhone did dim down the screen to of course debate that so that feature is still built in there But the temperatures ran rather high. So to combat those temperatures. I decided to try something a little bit different I was able to get the cryo armor case from speed in this is not sponsored But I went to see how it would affect it in terms of temperatures playing Genshin impact So I did play Genshin for the same amount of time and with the cryo armor case It was completely different my temperatures were between 102 and 105 that is the stock difference from 112 So hey, if you're gonna be playing at least Android games for a while This will cool it down for you quite effectively and I think it's it's actually quite useful I'll leave a link for you guys down below. So you're thinking, okay, I want to use that case What about my controllers? Well, the case will not work where your controllers is just too thick Most cases don't really work with controllers and you're wondering which controllers actually work first of all None of your lightning controllers will work You might as well just toss that aside if you have those. I'm sorry You can give it to like a younger brother cousin who has an older iPhone that will work Well in terms of the USB ones if you have one of the Android USB ones, which ones will work on here? Well currently there's only one I did try my razor key sheet didn't work But it's pretty much just the backbone controller and to be precise. It's a certain back It's a certain update level on the backbone control I believe version 1.1 to an up the does support the iPhone 15 you can update it through the backbone app and It's something that also back on says that if you have issues with any of the controls They would just swap it out for you So that's the only controller that works at the moment for at least gaming on the iPhone 15 pro and the 15 pro max Now, what about game streaming services Xbox game pass? Plays well flawlessly, you know, we've got a really good Wi-Fi chipset in there as well as also 5G chipset So you're able to game and stream quite effectively on this device where you're playing games like Starfield Which is amazing to just jump in and play especially on that display with the high resolution And also such brightness. I think it's about 1700 nits or something 15 nits peak brightness 2000 of course at outside as you would expect And I think when you look at everything overall in terms of gaming whether you're playing mobile games or you're playing console level games This is really interesting because Apple is trying is changing that conversation here, right? I was one of those people who went look I love the idea of playing my game streaming services like Xbox game pass on my device now The one thing that is a downside is that I cannot play those games when I'm offline So aka in the air and I travel a lot Apple is kind of changing that dynamic by saying hey You can play it because you can download and play games like Resident Evil that's stranding all that stuff Resident Evil 4 remake on your iPhone directly and get the same performance as you would find in your console Is it PS5? Is it Xbox Series X? Is it PS4? Xbox 1x? I can't fully tell you yet But I would say it's closer to a game streaming service in terms of performance and look now Let me know what you guys think about what's the iPhone gaming is like and what it brings to the table Are you impressed? Are you satisfied? Do you think this is a big jump that we have from last year? The fact that we can play current console level games on your iPhone 15 pro and 15 pro max This is Thundee saying thank you and always enjoy your entertainment All right back to Resident Evil. See if I can pass that stage. I Love it. You just get right back into it. Look at that like you hit the button and you get right back into it
