Typically, iPhone features find their way to other Apple platforms But in a keynote speech at Apple's WWDC2024, the company announced that it had reversed that direction as features previously seen in macOS Sonoma rolled around the iPhone Apple's game mode will be available via the iOS18 update this fall

Apple only made a brief mention of the game mode, which overshadowed the other iOS18 features announced at WWDC and the deployment of Apple Intelligence And it's a shame, because the game mode numbers are a welcome arrival on the iPhone, whether you try it in the fall or before ios 18 to 7 May

Simply put, Apple's game mode is designed to provide the best experience when running games on the phone But how well that work? 

Looking at the Mac's game mode gives you some clues The Mac version of this feature gives the game you're playing top priority access to the CPU and GPU, reducing background activity The approach should be the same as the iPhone and its system-on-chip

On this Game mode increases the Bluetooth sampling rate by a factor of 2, reducing input latency and audio latency for wireless accessories such as game controllers and Apple AirPods Again, we assume that this feature will work the same way on Iphone and Mac

When game mode is enabled, the game will run longer and smoother, the controller will be more responsive, and the sound of the headphones will be boosted So, what are the disadvantages? Do not expect to make a big download while playing, as background activity will take a long time or will stop completely Thankfully, the game mode needs to be turned on, so you can choose when it will be enabled

The inclusion of game modes in the Iphone will be particularly beneficial for those who have recently decided to check out the Apple Arcade subscription game streaming service And in game mode, it's easier than ever to stream xbox games in the Game Pass app with the same quality as the console, even on older devices

Overall, WWDC2024 had an amazing focus on the game There's a mention that both Assassins Creed Mirage and Assassins Creed Shadows will be available for playback on Mac and iPad While the iPhone didn't focus on the exact same game, there's no doubt that the game mode can help Apple phones, including the upcoming iPhone16, get a high score on our best gaming phones list
