For years, game development in the Android and iOS sectors has always been in sync, with simultaneous releases, but it seems that has changed. Apple surprised the world with its 2023 event, where it announced that it would bring high-quality and complex games like Resident Evil Village and Assassin’s Creed Mirage to its mobile devices.
These games, originally released for PC and latest-generation consoles, can now be played natively on the hardware of the iPhone 15, thanks to the powerful A17 Pro chip.
The A17 Pro chip is the most powerful processor ever developed by Apple. It easily outperforms the competition, including Samsung’s renowned Exynos chips and Qualcomm’s popular Snapdragon chips. The combination of cutting-edge hardware and significant investment in optimization is allowing Apple to bring AAA games to mobile devices.
But what does this mean for the Android universe, the world’s most popular operating system? Will Android users be left behind in this mobile gaming revolution?
The answer is not as simple as it may seem. On one hand, Apple has a clear advantage over Android as it has complete control over the hardware and software of its devices. This makes it easier to optimize games to run seamlessly on the iPhone 15 without relying on intermediaries.
On the other hand, Android is not too far behind in terms of processing power. Chip manufacturers like Qualcomm and Samsung are already developing new generations of processors that can compete with Apple’s A17 Pro. Additionally, Android offers a greater diversity of devices and price ranges, which can attract more consumers and developers.
Therefore, it is possible that Android can adapt to the mobile gaming revolution initiated by Apple, but it will depend on several factors. The first is the interest of AAA game developers in adapting their titles for Android, taking into account the differences in hardware and software across devices.
In summary, Apple’s revolution in the mobile gaming market, which had been stagnant for a long time, puts pressure on manufacturers and developers in the Android ecosystem, forcing them to accelerate their development efforts if they want to compete.
