"Resident Evil 4 Remake" is about to land on the iOS platform, YouTube owner MrMacRight recently uploaded a new video to test the performance of "Resident Evil 4: Remastered" on the iPhone 15 Pro, M1 iPad and M2 iPad, Apple hopes to make the iPhone 15 Pro the best gaming platform, but according to MrMacRight's test results, Apple is still far from this goal.
For the M1 iPad and M2 iPad platforms, Resident Evil 4 Remake is acceptable, with the M1 iPad running at 1600x1112 and the M2 iPad at 1920x1440 at 30 fps. But on the iPhone 15 Pro, the game runs at 1560×720 resolution, with a frame rate cap of 30 fps, but the iPhone 15 Pro often falls short of this goal, the average scene can stay close to 30 fps, but the frame rate drops below 25 fps when the character makes an action, and in the most intense part, the game frame rate can drop to 20 fps, especially when aiming with a sniper rifle.
Capcom has pre-configured graphics for Resident Evil 4 Remake on iOS, resulting in a console-like experience with fixed resolution and frame rate, as well as the ability to tweak options such as motion blur and lens distortion.
In addition, Apple claims that its new chip has ray tracing, but Capcom did not include ray tracing in this version of the game.
One of the main culprits behind the disappointing performance seems to be the thermal management of the iPhone. The phone can get hot very quickly, causing the hot throttling mechanism to trigger, which makes the game more difficult to run.
