Apple may be cooking something big with its new Game Mode. Here are 3 things we know


A new and improved Game Mode is coming to iPhones and iPads later this year, and it's bringing features that can turn your devices into veritable gaming handhelds.

Perhaps the key underlying reason behind the enthusiasm for gaming on an iPhone, MacBook, or iPad, is the sheer power of the hardware built into these devices -- and Apple's confidence that its tech is up to the job. The Apple Silicon M4 chip in the new iPad Pro, for example, plays some of these new titles better than some full-blown gaming rigs, shrugging off the requirements for max graphics with ease and delivering an impressive experience on the tablet's Ultra Retina XDR display. Historically, I've been a die-hard PC gamer, but I can't help but notice how well these games play on Apple devices and how the concerted push to add new titles is gaining traction.
