The iPhone 15 Pro series is said to have powerful 3A gaming performance, and Apple is also conscious of turning the mobile phone market into a new gaming arena. According to previous tests, this phone performs very well when running some AAA games, such as “Resident Evil: Village”, which makes many users look forward to Apple’s entry into the gaming field. “Resident Evil 4: Remake” will be available on iPhone, but its test results are disappointing. The game does not run well on iPhone 15 Pro.
We noticed that recently, blogger MrMacRight shared a video online, running “Resident Evil 4: Remake” on iPhone 15 Pro, M1 iPad and M2 iPad and testing its performance, but the results were disappointing. In testing, the game ran at a resolution of 1560×720 and also used MetalFX sharpening technology. Although the iOS version has a frame rate limit of 30FPS, the frame rate of the iPhone 15 Pro often fails to reach this level.
In some relatively simple scenes, the frame rate is barely close to 30FPS. However, as soon as you enter a battle or other more intense scenes, the frame rate will immediately drop below 25FPS, or even as low as 20FPS, and the screen will appear very obviously stuck, which has a particularly serious impact on the player’s gaming experience. Especially when aiming with a sniper rifle, the performance plummets.
This is different from “Resident Evil: Village” that landed on iPhone not long ago. The iOS version of “Resident Evil 4: Remake” uses the default image quality and does not support custom settings. Although some options such as motion blur and lens distortion are retained, the ray tracing capabilities that Apple has heavily promoted in its new processors are not present.
A big factor in Apple’s phone’s poor performance is its heat dissipation. During the test, the temperature of the mobile phone rose rapidly, resulting in frequency reduction and speed limit, and the lagging phenomenon became more serious.
Despite the disappointing performance of the iPhone 15 Pro, the game runs very well on the iPad Pro equipped with the M2 processor, and the frame rate is very stable and the resolution is high. This is undoubtedly a better choice for those players who want to get the best experience after “Resident Evil 4: Remake” is released on December 20.
Today, “Resident Evil 4: Remastered” will be launched on the iPhone / iPad / Mac platform, requiring iPhone 15 Pro series mobile phones, iPad (equipped with M1 and subsequent processors), and Mac (equipped with M1 and subsequent processors).
