iPhone 16 & iPhone 16 Pro Gaming: PS5 Pro Level?

The new iPhone 16 devices are here, but we have got a big change this year with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus getting massive chip improvements as well as better thermal controls. so we decided to Test all iPhones from the iPhone 16 to the iPhone 16 Pro Max to find out how well they game.

The *outside* of the phone being hotter is exactly what you would expect from the thermals/internals being better. The heat has to go somewhere - if it’s on the outside of the phone it’s not in the processor. The more efficient the heat transfer is *away* from the processor the hotter the outside will get (unless you start adding fans and vents)

[tipoomaster]

The titanium isn't meant to resist heat, it's meant to absorb and spread it. The outside getting warm just means it's taking the heat out of the chip successfully. Sounds promising that it doesn't throttle like before, I'd be curious for more follow up on if the 16 and 16 Pro cooling capacities are different.

[Gyroso]

Vapor cooling would make the way you’re testing the temperature only worse, it’s actually a good thing the heat exits through the case instead of staying in more then it used to

[EnzoTheMenace]

Should test them in a week again after optimization especially pubg when they add 120fps to 16 pro models

The games will no doubt get updates and further optimisations on iOS, so I would not take this early review as the end game, as the iPhone 15 Pros have improved with updates.

Your footage mate is CRIPSY AF image quality - BEAUTIFUL 4K60 footage!! 😲🤩

Be cool if Dynamic Island was used in gaming better like holding it or tapping it in a game opens a menu or can be set up as a shortcut for something in game. Just be nice to see it incorporated with the game better.

You probably don’t know this but, Genshin Inpact has gamepad support on iPhone, after you unlock your second wind power in the beginning of the game. All you need to do is go to controls and switch the touch screen to controller.

[debanjandas]

You nailed it in the last part of the video that the touch sensitive button apple has added should have gaming controls.

[BespokeMotorWorksOfficial]

Really nice video with very good feedback!

My first smartphone was an HTC Windows Mobile, my first Apple device was an iPhone 3GS and hated it, went full Android for years after that.
iPhone 13 was my reintroduction to Apple devices after my Galaxy S10 battery died for no reason, I'm now switching to a 256Gb iPhone 16 mostly for USB-C and storage upgrade. Man, I really love the iOS experience !
EDIT : I'm gonna keep that baby for years ! At LEAST until it doesn't receive updates anymore.

First reviewer that hits the points i wanna hear about and talks about yses in the button like how samsung z fold didnt think abkut hiw when gaming you could use the front screen as back buttons which would be used soo well for shooting games for aiming and movijg

[دأميرعطا]

Man you are the best - need compare 15 pm with 16 pm as regard sound quality, battery duration, heating issues on wifi and 5g

[tyrant_tarantula]

Love the video. Straight to the point and honest

[paresh]

What controller are you using with the 16 pro?

[vtecspec]

Can the backbone one gen2 fit the IPhone 16 pro max with case on?

[morm]

I think my red magic 9 is next level for gaming, 120 hz and plays Mario Oddyseey at 70 fps consistently even games like Zelda Breath of Wild and 3d world

[Judas_Krimson]

Hey I just got a Backbone and I was eager to play Death Stranding on my iPhone 16 Pro, but I was pretty worried because I heard the game had serious framerate drops and caused massive heat issues on iPhone 15 and 15 pro and damage the batteries.
Can you tell me how does it perform, and if it’s “safer” to play on 16 pro?
Since Death Stranding is a pretty long game I was wondering whether I could play for an extended period of time, like over 2 hours with the battery cable attached😅

[TrevorATX]

Remember when people thought a phone that is $999 is ridiculous? Well what about if it's a phone, a mini TV, a computer, a radio, an iPod, a mini PS5 or if you remember a PSP, a calculator, and a notebook? Could go on. But in my opinion $999 for all this and it'll last years and years really doesn't seem so bad.

I think it would’ve been more interesting if you had compared the performance of AAA games like Assassin Creed Mirage and other resident evil games instead of the F2P that use toxic monetization schemes. It is the premium games that have the potential to make the iPhone a portable console.
