    Apple has spent the last year trying to convince gamers that they can get a console-like, triple-A experience on the latest iPhones. The newest test of that promise will be Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage , which now has a release date and pricing information.

    Mirage will land on compatible iPhones—the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max—on June 6, according to Ubisoft (though the App Store listing says June 10.) That coincides pretty closely with Apple's annual developer conference, so we'd expect it to get a shoutout there. Ubisoft's blog post also says it will come to the iPad Air and iPad Pro models with an M1 chip or later.

    The game will be a free download with a 90-minute free trial. After that, you'll have to pay $50 to keep playing, which is pretty close to what the game costs on PC and consoles. It will support cross-progression, provided you sign into Ubisoft Connect. Ubisoft Connect is not exactly beloved by players, but it's nice to be able to take your saves back and forth between other platforms if you can stomach it.

      First wave of AAA iPhone games sees a big new release—and a notable delay

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Wednesday, 20 December - 18:31

    The trailer for Resident Evil 4 on iOS

    Apple's AAA gaming ambitions for the iPhone 15 Pro saw both a release and a delay this week.

    When Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 Pro and touted its AAA gaming capabilities in September, the company named three upcoming games as showcases: the Resident Evil 4 remake, Death Stranding , and Assassin's Creed Mirage . All would arrive to iOS and all would require an iPhone 15 Pro to play.

    Resident Evil 4 launched on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS today. And a few days ago, publisher 505 Games announced in a post to X that Death Stranding —which was expected to launch this month—has been delayed to "a new release date in early 2024" because it "needs a little more time."

    Over the past couple of years of reviewing the iPhone, we've often jokingly called them "smartcameras" rather than smartphones, as the camera features are really what sell people on upgrading to new models.

    So, for our final Apple gift guide, we'll revisit some of what we explored in our iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro review with a special focus on the cameras. If you're looking to grab a new iPhone for yourself or someone in your family, which camera is best?

    The idea here is to provide a top-level, quick summary of the features of each iPhone camera as they pertain to specific uses to make for an easy buying guide for last-minute holiday shoppers who want a quick answer. We'll go over each phone and survey its features, detailing their relevant uses and noting some recommendations and considerations along the way.

      Report: Apple and Goldman Sachs are breaking up over money-losing Apple Card

    Report: Apple and Goldman Sachs are breaking up over money-losing Apple Card

    Apple has repeatedly trumpeted the success of its financial services, a product lineup that now encompasses the Apple Card credit card, high-interest savings accounts, and a buy-now-pay-later service called Apple Pay Later .

    But even if those products have proven reasonably popular with consumers, they haven’t been working out for the bank that Apple has partnered with to supply those services. Goldman Sachs’ consumer services have been losing the company billions of dollars, according to reporting from Bloomberg , CNBC , and The New York Times , among others. These losses have been driven in part by a much higher-than-usual loss rate on its credit card loans—meaning that people with Goldman-backed credit cards like the Apple Card are actually making their payments less often than people with credit cards from other banks.

    Today, The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has sent Goldman Sachs a proposal that will end their partnership within the next 12 to 15 months, leaving Apple to find a new backer for its financial products.

    Look, if you're going to play AAA and core games, you probably want to play on a gaming PC or a console. Let's just get that right out of the way.

    That said, Apple was trying to sell the potential of triple-A gaming on the iPhone 15 Pro this fall, and there's some possibility that some limited AAA gaming will be possible on that platform.

    A small selection of titles, including Resident Evil 4 , Death Stranding , and Assassin's Creed Mirage , are planned for the device. There's some question as to whether battery life and the thermal realities will make this practical, but the buzz has been enough that people have been asking me about it—including some friends, significant others, and parents to gamers who are doing some holiday shopping and want to make sure they get the right phone for their person.
