It was a big deal for iOS and its app store, the App Store, yesterday afternoon. ‘Warframe’ has arrived officially and for free; It’s one of the most relevant MMORPGs today, and another example of Apple’s power when it comes to making deals with video game development companies.

‘Warframe’ joins ‘Resident Evil’ as one of the console deliveries adapted to phone and only available for iOS (at least in the early months). Problem? There comes a point where the iPhone begins to fail to meet everything expected of it.

iOS is the best system to install games. iPhone is one of the worst phones for gaming

I am an advocate of mobile games. Graphics potential has increased rapidly in recent years; So much so that we normalize the ability for console and PC games to run on devices that fit in our pockets. ‘Fortnite’, ‘Genshin Impact’, ‘Warframe’… are just a few examples of how the mobile market is not turning to dedicated deliveries just for this format: it is turning to bringing the potential of a console to the phone.

I spend my life testing and analyzing high-end mobile phones, and if there’s one thing I’m clear about the performance of the iPhone, it’s that no matter how powerful its processor, Not a good mobile phone to play on. At least not if your goal is to go for a long run lasting more than an hour.

High-end Android has in recent years focused on increasing the size of vapor chambers, an important part when it comes to cooling a device. Not because of the maximum temperature achieved, but because of how it helps maintain and maintain adequate temperature during long runs. New generation Android phones with vapor chambers, such as the OnePlus 12, heat up quickly, but they stay there for hours without reducing performance.

In our tests, the iPhone heats up quickly, practically to the point of burning, meaning there’s a lot of heat available at moments of maximum demand. throttle The game can barely run. You can test this for yourself, in fact ‘Warframe’ has been overly ambitious and doesn’t even run smoothly at launch. This is the first version Comes with graphics set to medium default. While loading these in high quality (we cannot load all the parameters because the mobile phone cannot handle it at the moment), the iPhone 15 Pro starts to heat up and suffer.
