Few notes:
- Genshin now supports MetalFX
- Typo at 9:19. Should say Highest (60 FPS) not 30 FPS
- Footage of Farlight 84 and War Thunder Mobile is laggy, I think it's problem with upload. It's not like that in person.
- SpongeBob Squarepants 3D world is 1080p and then upscaled to native resolution
Have you found any games that display 30fps with correct frame pacing. Ie no bumps up and down on the frame time chart?
I find bad frame pacing really ruins a game
Very well made video, I would like to suggest for u to use a cooler in some titles, many people use this video to compare with others phones that already come with a cooler in the box. I think thermals would benefit a lot from that and we would be able to know the full extent of A17 bionic's power. I play a lot on mobile, never without a cooler because my device is getting old but i'm getting 60 fps in warzone mobile with an iPhone Xs and a cooler in performance and fidelity mode.
FINALLY U PLAYED MYST ON IPHONR
Что с голосом? Тебя тошнит?
Brother, a few suggestions:
- Comparison with other chips (ex.: M1, M2, snapdragon gen 2)
- Sustained performance on these games (Thermal Throttling)
- Battery Life (While gaming)
Battery life surprisingly is disappointing compared to m1 chips.
The performance compared to m1 is bad, Wreckfest runs a lot better on my m1 iPad at a higher resolution,
@@oo--7714 The IPhone 15 has a 3300 mah battery, 4400 for the 15 Pro Max....the M1 Ipad Air and Ipad Pro's have a 7600 mah battery, the M1 Ipad Pro 12.9 has a 10700 mah battery....The larger devices have bigger batteries and much more space for thermal dissipation/cooling....the iphone only handles 4.5W sustained....the ipads can handle 10-15W Sustained.
And have an active cooler
Snapdragon gen 2 yes but why on earth m1?
Thank you for your time and effort. A detailed and deep dive video as usual.
Can't believe that Genshin still doesn't support higher than 60fps on PC. PC games should support and run at uncapped fps by default.
Great video. On a lot of games on the 14 Pro, I found that touching the screen actually caused FPS drops bizarrely in a way previous iPhones didn’t. 2 games I most clearly noticed this were Pokémon Unite and Mario Kart Tour. Mario Kart Tour in particular runs at a locked 60 fps on an iPhone 12, but constantly drops an iPhone 14 Pro but only when touching the screen. I’ve been trying to work out if the same issue still exists on the 15 Pro. I think things look positive from this video, but it was of course an issue completely mitigated by using a controller so that could be the same here
Can't wait to play all these games at max resolution, 120 fps, and max settings on the upcoming M3 Ipad Pro, even if having to use metalfx upscaling.
@@ncard00you can do that now on the m2 ipad pro, just won't support hardware rt
Personally I stopped gaming on my iPhone years ago and now only will play on an iPad. Even though I used to love gaming on my iPhone, games on a bigger screen is just that much more enjoyable. I’ve just upgraded to the latest iPad Pro 12.9 m2 16gb 1tb model and it’s an absolute monster, I’d love to know if the extra ram makes a difference as it’s just on another level. One game I always test on a new device to see its power is a lesser known game called nimian legends (I think) it has many pc desktop settings and none of my devices phone or tablet could ever handle it on maxed settings till now, honestly this new model is ridiculous. Emulation can be done with all settings maxed with zero issues, so really looking forward to resident evil 4, res evil village and death stranding as they should run fantastic! Hopefully these aaa games open the floodgates for iOS games coming lot more often.
iOS is a bit more efficient at using RAM than like a PC, since it's a mobile device, but that extra ram on your iPad helps - since the RAM is shared between the CPU & GPU on the SoC, having more RAM can enable games to store more textures and models in RAM instead of having to pull the off your storage ( the 1TB you have for storage ). That way you have fewer loading screens and fewer stutters as it pulls resources into RAM. It won't make the GPU faster, but it'll make it more efficient and it'll make you happier with a smoother gaming experience. Enjoy that iPad!!
Resident evil on the iPhone looks amazing with the oled
Love these technical reviews
Thank you, Severus Snape, very cool! 👍
thank you so much, although I don't use iphone but I really like the way you elaborated the whole concept of the video, u just earned a new subscriber :)
THNX so much for this!!
S23 base model here. Playing war thunder for example. I averaged 75 fps with max graphics and ray tracing. When applying low settings and 120, I averaged 110 to 120.
Thanks for the info S23 base model
Sweet review ♥️
Thermal throttling will always limit fanless devices like smartphones and tables unless manufacturers really opt for serious cooling (copper, heatpipes, active cooling). Still A17 Pro performance is incredible for a such a small fanless device. Apple should star using its chips to full potential and crank them to max with sufficient cooling and heat dissipation.
An Android Numbia Red Magic 8s pro has a sd8 gen 2 and has a cooling fan so it performed better at sustained gameplay compaired to my galaxy s23 which use the same chip
iPhone 16 Pro Max should be 7 inch
Amazing video!! 👏👏👏
Please make a video showcasing the "Game mode" on Mac. Would like to see if it really makes a difference when it comes to latency and delivering more consistent frame rates.
Sky also has terrible frametimes in the PC demo, cause even at 30fps, it's completely single core limited, even on a modern 4Ghz 8 core 16 thread CPU.
Something tells me that the iPhone 15 pro and pro max's battery will need replacing within a year if people run these games on the A17. The device simply doesn't have the cooling systems to keep the internals cool. A hot battery will lose health quickly.
Great video. Really wish I could see the 120 FPS gameplay and results
prior to the latest patch vampire survivors could be a stress test in a late-game scenario with too many enemies rushing at the player, to the point that it even made my macbook lag. that got much improved with the patch as they switched engines, but i still see merit in including that, just that it's an edge case that requires a deliberate setup
Thanks :)
Apple should’ve tested and implemented thermal dissipating hardware like gaming phones to do, it’s definitely got the power to run these games smooth. Hopefully on the next one
The problem is, gaming is actually a fairly unimportant feature when it comes to sales, most people who buy an iPhone don’t give two shits about it so implementations to dissipate heat would not be high on Apples priority list.
@@ZeePirateManadding a fan would also not be advisable, you will not get any water proofing
@@oo--7714
Exactly
@@Maximus20778
Because there trying to get more people playing games on it, if it works then they might think about cooling etc
If you add fan you loose water resistance
“You fool” lol..this is one of the funniest vids I’ve ever watched of mr Mac…calling out the bad gatcha games too…I love this
Hey Stewie ! Thank you very much for your excellent content (I wish you get 1M subscribers because you'd totally deserve it)
I'm sorry if my question is kind of out topic, but I was wondering if you'd do some Baldur's Gate 3 test with the official release ? I watched your 2020 test but the game's minimum specs changed quite a lot since then. I tried it myself on my 30 GPU cores M2 and base model M2 MBA and I'm a little concerned about the performance on the MBA. Do you think it's normal? Do you know/think Larian release a patch on schedule.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your work, you're the best.
im glad warzone has controller support
9:29 I pop in for Genshin as a player who just played it today on my 15PM and it’s REALLY good. My 13PM had started to struggle and I had switched to exclusively playing on console but with the 15 it’s very good.
Hi, hey how does it go with 120 fps??
That's the best and honest video I've ever watched for iPhone 15 Pro Max Series. A bit disappointed by its performance since apple made a huge deal out of it in their conference
Quite impressive considering the form factor and battery life.
@@garrusvakarian8709 Snapdragon has always been good at GPU power but they can never catch up to Apple at CPU power
@@garrusvakarian8709it the same performance wise as the gpu.And the even though it throttles the s23 can only dream of such performance
@@garrusvakarian8709 Wreckfest and Warzone mobile runs at 60FPS on 8 gen 2, no drops at all, but Warzone Mobile on android doesn't have Antialiasing on android yet, it has pretty jagged edges
How does the newest iPhone stack up to consoles in terms of graphics. Would you say it has reached ps4/ Xbox one graphics, ps3/xbox360? I’m curious this looks pretty good.
Crazy how powerful these phones are
So many of these games have bad 30fps caps. Almost all of them seem to not have properly frame paced 30fps caps leading to some micro stutter which is annoying
I don't know why I'm trying to get AAA gaming experiences on iOS and Mac. Windows, Intel, and nvidia are the way to go.
A17 Pro iPad mini will be a game changer.
Is simple, u say genshit impact sucks, u get my like and suscription. Amazing channel. Not only do i get performance stats but i also get straight up FACTORES 👍
it would be great if you could try playing these games with the razer magsafe cooler attached, as it seems the 15 Pro is limited by thermals
Thank You 🖤
just wondering any none console port games support ray tracing on the iPhone 15 pro max? (mobile games) when I get mine I wanna test this! thanks!!
Thanks for the video. I was curious how it handled minecraft, it did disappoint me that 10 chunks is still the best for the game running smoothly.
And they advertise this thing running RE4 Remake 😂
@@madlyfwipp9511& it’s working pretty good with Ray tracing & Metal fx
Can you play Aerofly fs 2023 or 2024 next time? It uses so much graphical power
I really wish they didn't abandon descenders on mobile. It's one of the coolest games I've played on PC and this mobile port is just a disappointment
5:40 Great way warm up your battery during Swedish winter
What the hell happened to No Man’s Sky on iPad?
Is there some optimisasion issues with new a17 because my ip13 mini can easily reach locked 60 in wreckfest even at high details.. I don’t know if you were using max msaa tho. It definetly isn’t worth it and kills performance , looks fantastic even at 2x
Ok actually I had low grass density for example when I checked but its not that important in that game
I’ll take that back lol 😀😀 once I had run game flawlessly for like 15 minutes the performance dropped drastically as phone got hotter lol
Get an iPhone 15 Pro Max to game longer
My COD mobile & PUBG & Minecraft & Don’t Starve never drop frames on my 14 Pro Max.
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max and wish you would of got that to test games on
How did you get the call of duty warzone ?
Is this recorded using the iPhone screen recording? I have never seen Genshin run this badly before. Doesn't seem normal at all.
Recorded with external capture card and OBS
Will you do a update video with the new iOS update
Do a low high pass. Try the SA-2 Dialog Processor as well.
I want to know if supports 120fps in WW2 (Azur games) - we are forced to use Ipads Pro to get the 120 fps.... otherwise we are stuck to 60fps...
Put an ice pack behind the phone that's what I do when I'm playing resident evil village on my 15 pro max keep it cool & can play on high settings
Do you know a way to measure RAM usage?
They should've given pass through charging ability to these phones like Samsung does.
are there any games to try the new hardware metal ray tracing or the meta FX yet?? I can't find anything.
War Thunder has Ray Tracing and MetalFX. Genshin Impact and Dragonheir: Silent Gods has MetalFX too. Myst has AMD FSR 1.0 support which is kind of similar to MetalFX.
These upcoming games will have MetalFX: Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding, Assassin's' Creed Mirage
ok thanks ill try them out again. @@MrMacRight
Just set msaa 2x or lower and wreckfest runs easily locked 60 even on ip13 with high details. So much smoother than any Android which has small hiccups constantly even with spgen2 . iPhone games just run so much smoother than Android and i know from experience. Optimisation just much better on ios
Does cod mobile reach a consistent 120fps?
You needed to try the game called “MaDout 2 Big City Online” 😢😢😢
Can you please testing CSR Racing 2 on 15 Pro?
Sometimes lag in there I don't know why but those gaames are good
Have you tried playing on big screen with controller connected?
que bueno es volver a verte 1pregunta es verdad que tiene raytracin? y el a16?¿
You do some testing in low power as in the past iPhones it’s meant slightly lower performance and no thermal throttling
Not anymore, geekerwan tested.
@@bulletpunch9317 he didn’t. Just watched the video
@@chidorirasenganz his chinese channel one.
what about overheating?
Are you the guy who speaks on apple event before? Your voice are same to him
The reason why I refuse to buy the current Apple TV as I have a feeling that the next Apple TV will have the A17Pro chip in it 🤔
I have seriously no idea how mobile phone gaming has become such a big market. I started gaming around three decades ago and to this day gaming on a mobile phone feels so wrong, clunky and restrictive. But it is in fact the biggest market in terms of revenue so many people seem to enjoy it or are at least willing to spend absurd amounts of money for mobile games. Can anyone enlighten me what is so good about mobile phone gaming? What makes it better than Steam Deck for example?
Personally,I love the mobile touch screen controls over the gamepads and mouse and keyboards. It's much more challenging to play on the mobile and hence, very rewarding when you achieve some crazy results.
They are so small compared to PCs this is why its so restrictive
now test it again with the latest updated
Bro got the professor snape voice
Can you play rec room on this iPhone that will be interesting!
Share Gameplay of resident evil when it's already available looking forward for it.
Damn the performance on Wreckfest, a lot worse than my m1 iPad.
Why u don't test the pathless, samurai jack and other apple arcade high demanding games. ALSO dark cells smh runs 120fps on my android
Where bg3 m1 release test?
I guess stable 60 fps on big games is not yet possible
Me who is an iPhone 15 Pro but doesnt know what games to play on it: *taking notes*
I can easily play genshin impact with highest setting 120 fps enabled, very smoothly
I thought cod warfare wasn’t out until like July or sum
19:58 What in the flabbergast happened there? I love it
Love You Brother ❤️ Keep Going No Matter What Happens I Am Always With You ❤.
You are really enjoying Minecraft ❤❤
Can you do COD Mobile?
I love iPhone it plays games so smoothly looks like a video game clean af compare to Samsung
Why not have 120 ?
It sounds like the iphone 15 peo has a problme with heat?!
VAMPIRE SURVIVORS!!!!!!! WOOH!!!!!!!
Can iphone 15 pro overheated playing games at 30 fps can you test that ?
That will depend on the game and the settings it's set to
I don’t think it’s worth the upgrade if you have a 12 or more recent working iPhone.
Cheers.
So like the iPhone 14 pro max does it dim and fry after 3 minutes of launching a game
Bro really just said Ray Tracing is coming to Genshin and Hokai on iPhone
lol why do you sound like Alexander Dane from galaxy quest 💀
BG3 on M2 next please
At some point
I am going to consider buying a refurbished M2 iPad for mobile gaming. I am not going to upgrade my 13 Pro for the new iPhone.
You sound like the Golum.
I've never heard someone sound so depressed about benchmarking genshin 😂
Bro sounds like professor Snake
Haha, ”the FPS will tank” in War Thunder. How fitting, eh? :)
very strange results because in other test all games fps very good, maybe soft early or something different...
шикарно выходит
Ok so in the end it is not the ultimate gaming machine that Apple was stating, this is very disappointing that is cannot reach 60 fps on most of the titles shown.
Who cares about 60 fps
@@chidorirasenganzgamers do wtf.
@@pkmn_trainer_chito1502 some do. I’ve been playing for decades and I have never cared about higher frame rates
It’s isn’t optimized yet
It's at the limit of what's technologically possible in this form factor currently. People have a warped sense of performance expectations. It wasn't until this gen of PS5/Xbox Series X that 60 fps became commonplace in 'performance modes', and it's still not stable for many titles.
What about RE8 and remake4
Came out after this video was published
Should've put old M1 chip in the iphone pro's😅
Or a A bionic version of it💯
Poco x6 pro has no drops in Genshin and stays at 60 FPS.
How about resident evil village in ios?
It's not out yet.
Gosh one would think genshin and honkai killed your parents in a back alley.
They are just boring games with anime like artstyle nothing revolutionary
