In addition to Tencent’s new games, Apple also introduced a number of 3A games that will be available on the iPhone platform, including “Resident Evil 7” and “Assassin’s Creed: Phantoms” and other games that were previously only supported on the iPhone 15 Pro. Because the iPhone 16 uses a new heat dissipation design, it can provide up to 30% continuous performance improvement for games and also supports ray tracing. In addition, the iPhone 16 is also equipped with a larger battery, which has also improved in terms of battery life compared to the previous generation.
