The video game industry had a relevant gap during the presentation of the iPhone 15. The Pro model of Apple’s smartphone showed the world how they could natively run games like Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Yes, as you read: Triple A bill games running on a device that fits in your pocket. IGN has been able to interview several of those responsible for the hardware, who classify the new iPhone 15 Pro as “the best game console” available as soon as it is marketed.
When asked how the iPhone 15 Pro fits into the current console market, one of Apple’s spokespersons assures that the appeal of the device is to bring together all the capabilities of a mobile phone and complement it with its use as a traditional video game console..
“It’s everything you want and depend on. Your device, your photo capture, memory capture, and Now it is a powerful game console, which is in your pocket and you can take anywhere, play on different wireless connections, different titles, different ways to play them,” says Kaiann Drance, vice president of global iPhone product marketing at Apple. “It is remarkable how everything comes together in communion. “It’s all about those experiences and we’re excited to bring those titles and we’ll see more in the future.”
Jeremy Sandmel, senior director of GPU Software at Apple, explains that “The best console is the one you can have with you”. “It’s going to be the best video game console,” she concludes. Apple’s commitment to traditional video games already goes back a long way. At the last WWDC 2023 we witnessed the new tools to port games from Windows to MacOS, with Hideo Kojima as the protagonist of Death Stranding. Now it is Capcom that strengthens its commitment to the Apple environment and Ubisoft joins in with its next project.
