One of the most relevant aspects of the iPhone 16 is the use of artificial intelligence, the differential tool of Apple’s new device. Although this will not be available until 2025, it has not prevented the interest of users, as the American company promoted this technology and the new camera button as the main novelties of its new smartphone. However, although it has not emphasized it, another main virtue of the iPhone 16 is its compatibility with the gaming sector.
As stated by the JeuxVideo portal in a recent publication, the important difference between the base models and the Pro versions of the iPhone 16 is the processor, as the latter have the A18 Pro. Thanks to this, Apple’s more ambitious devices are focused on maximizing both artificial intelligence and photography performance, but also offer the possibility of making the most of the gaming aspect of these devices.
Is it better than high-end Android phones?
However, what many users want to know is whether this Apple device is better than high-end Android phones regarding gaming capabilities. According to the original news, the performance of the A18 Pro processor pales in comparison to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, as the latter has capabilities that are 15% superior. Additionally, Apple has focused a lot of their efforts on improving the graphic performance (GPU) of their titles, but the results so far are inconclusive. Therefore, it lags behind phones like the Vivo X100S or the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in some performance tests.
Still, the results show that high-end smartphones from Android and Apple are fairly evenly matched in terms of gaming performance. Furthermore, game compatibility and certain technologies are expected to be a decisive factor for users, beyond the results of performance tests. That’s why Apple is working on compatibility with titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, a move to catch the attention of those interested in a phone with gaming capabilities.
