When heavy mobile games such as Glory of Kings and Peace Elite are popular, the obsession of mobile phones to control the game has penetrated into the marrow of every player.
This year, the scale of China's e-sports market is expected to exceed 180 billion, and e-sports mobile phones such as Rescuer, Black Shark and Red Devil have been born, and the "e-sports economy" has also become a new main battlefield. However, in the balance between game consoles and smartphones, only part of the performance experience can be sacrificed, which has disappointed many players.
In fact, with the A15 blessing, the iPhone 13 is definitely fast enough for any type of mobile game, however, it is still mainly a smartphone, not a mobile game console.
So, has mobile phone giant Apple abandoned the game? The answer is no.
Recently, according to industry disclosures, Apple is developing handheld game consoles, with the help of the rich game ecology laid down by "Apple Arcade", so as to stand at the forefront of games.
Arcade pro: A handheld machine that resembles the iPhone 13
01 Appearance: Two groove design
Apple named the iPhone-inspired handheld gaming device: Arcade Pro.
From the rendering, arcade pro adopts the same straight-sided rounded corner design as the iPhone 13, a 6.7-inch display with a stainless steel bezel, supports a high refresh rate of 120Hz ProMotion adaptive, and is ultra-thin and predetermined.
With a two-slot design, it's actually a dexterous solid arrow key that can also be changed according to the game. The volume keys are located on the left and right sides, and the speakers are also located on the side of the bezel for an immersive gaming experience.
02 Image: Dual camera
The front lens was cut directly, and the layout of the camera did not use the most advanced triple-camera scheme, but a rear dual-lens system similar to the iPhone X, but the lens position was close to the top, so there was no need to worry about finger operation being disturbed during the game.
A LiDAR sensor was also installed between the two cameras, the first dedicated AR-based handheld game console.
03 Charging: Magnetic charging
Arcade pro directly cut off the charging interface, but uses MagSafe's magnetic charging method, bringing a more convenient charging experience, while improving the sealing of the mobile phone, more exquisite waterproof performance.
However, Xiaobian did not see the SIM card slot, as to whether it will be an e-sports mobile phone, it is still unknown.
Create your own gamepad for your iPhone
It is reported that Apple is creating a "magnetically adsorptible game accessory" for the iPhone, similar to a switch-like gamepad.
The accessory will be equipped with a physical interface for controlling gaming activity on the electronic device, so that the fruit powder can be released maximumly during operation and the screen will no longer be hindered.
Apple says the accessory improves the gaming capabilities of electronic devices and is easily connected to electronic devices for easy use.
Say at the end
Of course, these designs are almost a concept, and Apple won't actually release it anytime soon.
But it is certain that Apple will not give up the fat meat of the e-sports market, and there are even rumors that Apple is developing a special chip for game consoles, and once Apple game consoles appear, related supporting hardware will also be a big market.
