    Funny how the less power the device has the better the games it has.
    (Power is nothing when the quality sucks!)

    Why would you compare a cloud based game to locally running ones?

    You don’t want to touch the switch? Clearly you haven’t played Nintendo’s exclusives. Game design over graphics any day.

    You didn’t even use metal effect super resolution nor customise the settings other than cranking the resolution up, this showdown seems pointless.

    I think this is a dumbest comparison ever lol

    Wouldn’t it be better to compare the latest iPhone to an ASUS ROG, a Samsung S23 Ultra, or a Lenovo Legion phone? Also, if you’re injecting a cloud version of a game you could also compare the local version of the game on iPhone as compared to the GeForce Now version running on iPhone.

      It makes more sense, but I think he’s selling the iPhone to those who may not own a current-gen console.

      @dpt17 Is Resident Evil Village on Android?

    • Aaron

      November 9, 2023 at 4:30 pm

      Game not available on android, also even if it is, it will not be the pc version, iPhone’s version has little modification, it is basically the Mac version.

    • OmenBoy

      November 9, 2023 at 6:23 pm

      @Aaron yeah that’s what I figured. I’m not sure why dude brought up those phones if RE isn’t even on them.

      I hope not too hard, that would hurt.

  12. you know with Marty Kauffman

    November 9, 2023 at 9:01 am

    So what you are saying is, if you want to play games, get an Xbox

  13. Bruno Ribeiro

    It’s a great start for the iPhone. It will only get better from now on.

    What about the overheating and throttling claims on the iPhone 15 Pro/Max? Any truth to that?

    • OmenBoy

      November 9, 2023 at 12:30 pm

      The overheating was fixed a week after launch, with iOS 17.0.1. I haven’t had throttling issues or overheating with the two 15 Pro Max phones in my household.

      November 9, 2023 at 3:35 pm

      @OmenBoy Thanks! Good to know it’s fixed now.

    Dont want to touch switch? Really? Ever heard of Zelda, Supermario, Metroid prime, Octopath traveller, Dragon Quest, Monster hunter rise…the list goes on.

    The Switch version is not fair! You are streaming on the Nintendo Switch.

    considering iphone primary function isnt for gaming, its still impressive that it can run a AAA game with its thermal limitations and slim form factor

How to Invite Creativity into Your Life | Rose B. Simpson, Debbie Millman | TED

What do you hear when you sit in silence? For artist Rose B. Simpson, that question is the beginning of all art. She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars. (If that sounds like a contradiction, that’s kind of the point.) In conversation with “Design Matters” podcast host Debbie Millman, Simpson invites you to find your own aesthetic — not by searching, but by listening. (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025)
