Apple introduced the macOS 14 Sonoma version during its WWDC 2023 event a few months ago. Apart from its new interface, the operating system caught attention with its Game Mode feature. Now, it has come to light that Apple intends to bring this feature, which optimizes Silicon chips to provide higher FPS in games, to iPhones and iPads with iOS 17.
Game Mode may arrive on iPhones and iPads with iOS 17!
Apple recently released the fourth beta version of iOS 17, which brought some new features. However, a significant discovery was made today. It turns out that the source codes of this version contain some details about the Game Mode featured in macOS 14 Sonoma.
Initially, Apple announced the Game Mode feature exclusively for macOS. However, with the code fragment discovered today, it appears that the company is working to bring this feature to iPhones and iPads as well. It seems that Apple aims to enhance the gaming performance on mobile devices.
Apple's potential leap towards bezel-free iPhones could be a double-edged sword. Here's why this futuristic vision might be problematic.
The Game Mode can potentially provide higher performance for games on iPhones and iPads. This feature allocates a significant portion of the device’s resources specifically for games, prioritizing gaming tasks.
Apple also claims that the Game Mode significantly reduces Bluetooth latency. This is excellent news for mobile gamers who use AirPods or other Bluetooth earphones, as low audio latency is crucial, especially in competitive games like PUBG.
In the upcoming beta releases of iOS 17, Apple may reveal more details about the Game Mode. We will soon witness this development together.
