At the WWDC 2024 event, Apple unveiled the iOS 18 update for the iPhone, which brought many new features, including home screen customization, AI features for its apps, a customizable control center, and much more.
We also have a post from where you can download high-resolution iOS 18 wallpapers, both light and dark, to customize your iPhone or Android home screen setting. It should be noted that the iOS 18 update is only supported by a select group of Apple iPhones, which you can check here.
officially Post in the newsroom, Apple also highlighted one important feature that is intended for gamers and is included in the iOS 18 update. We are talking about a dedicated “game mode”. This is a special mode that optimizes your iPhone for those heavy gaming sessions for optimal gaming performance.
After installing iOS 18, your iPhone will automatically enter gaming mode when you start a gaming session. Here’s how Game Mode will optimize your iPhone’s gaming performance by doing three things:
- This will minimize the background activity of the iPhone, allowing the iPhone to achieve higher frame rates, consistently throughout the multiple hours of gaming.
- Help achieve reduced latency when using a Bluetooth game controller.
- It also reduces the latency of the AirPods when connected to audio.
It should be noted that there is no switch or dedicated switch to activate the game mode. Instead, your iPhone intelligently activates Game Mode wherever appropriate to achieve the highest quality iOS gaming experience.
The feature is for AAA titles, and you probably won’t notice the difference when playing casual games such as candy Crushand so.
When you jump into games such as Sniper Elite 4, Network legends, snow runneretc., you will see your iPhone kicking in game mode to increase the gaming experience. It is interesting to note that Game Mode, which comes to iPhone with the iOS 18 update, is already available for Mac.
