The game console market may see the entry of another interesting player. This follows at least from the claims of "well-informed sources" (as the discussants refer to themselves), according to which he started Apple work on your own Nintendo Switch-style handheld gaming console. And that there really should be something to stand for.

The sources did not reveal how far the Californian giant is in the development of this brand new product, but they say that they have a lot of faith in it and are preparing a special processor for it. It should be adapted directly to playing games, so we can count on it with a high-performance graphics component and an architecture that will be the best possible for playing games. It goes without saying that a high-quality display with a high refresh rate, enough RAM memory and perhaps enough internal storage will be included. As for the games, the sources claim that there is Apple interested in real gems like Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs and others.

When exactly we could expect this news is completely unclear at the moment. However, given that we are hearing about a similar project today for the first time, it is quite likely that work on it is only at the beginning and we are still several years away from its completion.
So that doesn't make sense to me. ProDon't pull the console when I'm already pulling iPhone?
I would still like to understand the Switch controller for iPhone, but the console is crap. They would be struggling with it Apple Arcade.
Exactly.
You don't have to beat them up Apple arcade. Apple Arcade is a gaming service aimed mainly at undemanding users. Here in the article we talk about a bit of financI don't play very hard. Something close to Nintendo Switch / PS5 / Xbox.
Just that Apple currently does not have any gaming equipment. Ma Apple tv (entertainment in the living room), you have phones, tablets and computers that not only apple tvI'm sorry they're at work. Where do you have a gaming device? I don't really consider a mobile phone or tablet where I play Candy Crush as a gaming device. I can also install a few games on my Android TV, but I wouldn't say it's a gaming device.
Apple then officially avoids the gaming sector. ProWhat do you think? Apple forbids cloudmy game services to work on Apple arranged? He has something planned... :)
Even though it is iPhone quite powerful, imagine a console as big as something like iPhone Max or maybe iPad mini, which has its own buttons (and will not just be touch-sensitive) and will have a special chip with the performance of, let's say, Apple M2. In addition, it has a haptic response, special ergonomics, let's add some creative surround sound. If you put aside the graphical performance that we don't know much about at the moment (apple then he didn't show his dedicated graphics card) – we'll get to the performance of the new consoles. And have something like PS5 on the go….HELL YEAH!
So you will have a special device for playing games, optimized to properly use the HW performance.
It easily overcomes iPhone and also such iPad Pro with M1.
iPhone is a nice thing, but it's a versatile device that does a lot of things, but not necessarily great. Have you ever played on an iPhone or iPad? Besides the fact that you take the battery out for a while, the games are no miracle and unless you have a special case, you can't even hold the device in your hand when it's hot. I personally am notancPlaying games on your phone, some Angry Birds were nice, but it can't be compared to console production.
why the console? all games played in cloudWell, game consoles and PCs have lost their meaning for me, I turn on the browser anywhere, select a game, connect the controller and play, tooneno installation, inserting disks and crap
Playing in cloudeh? Then you'll be one of the few. I understand the advantages cloudof this game, it's still early days for this technology, networks are not designed to let you play anything without latency, this is the music of the future. But if you are satisfied, then I wish you well, this is the future. :)
I play assassins creed valhala on tv in 4k with hdr. The game cost 569kč on Google Stadia. Controller from Germany along with chromecast ultra 99€.
I connect the controller to the iPad, or at work to the PC.
I don't have useless hardware at home, an xbox that will suck dust for the first year and then suffocate. Everything is provided for €10 per month by the server and the transmission from the data center in Frankfurt is a hell of a lot 🤞
I don't know. But haven't you tried it yet? appl??
"since we are hearing about a similar project today for the first time, it is quite likely that work on it is only at the beginning and we are still several years away from its completion"
I don't know about you, but I do apple game console honor minialmost the last year. Game console, or Apple tv "Pro", focused on gaming. There has been talk of their gamepad for a long time. There has also been talk of a "better" version Apple Arcade, aimed at real players and not casual players. And according to leakerI have this one. Apple Tv Pro or maybe a completely new product (console) will arrive this year, according to them it should be at the end of the year keynote intended for this product only. (this was claimed by Tusim LoveToDream and others)
And I make sense of it, if you're wondering what Apple the last few years of work - they focus on the creation of new services that can generate huge profits for them in the future (fitness service, game service, music, magazines, films and serials and others) so why not focus on games in which much more money is made? I'm just surprised it's taking them so long.
You write correctly that you are reading about a gaming room Apple TV. But the article is about Nintendo Switch-style Apple console.
It's quite possible that it will be one and the same device. A device that you put in some dockYou have a powerful console, or you take it on the road. Leakerthey are also quite inaccurate. It could be two products or just one. Last year I read that Apple planning a gaming computer (again leakeri). Maybe all of this was true at one point, but the product crystallized and became a Nintendo-Switch like console. But one thing is for sure, Apple he's planning something around gaming and that's good!
Personally, I always told myself that if Apple let in the game waters. So, rather than being in competition with Xbox and PS, the file will go against Nintendo. :)
As a player and apple fan I'm looking forward to it!
Maybe she just wants to Apple cut a piece of the game cake, but I don't expect anything world-shattering in this direction. Gaming is mainly about the games, not the platform. Both Xbox and PS are almost the same hardware and I only struggle in exclusive titles. I do not think that Apple suddenly starts churning out better games. He did not perform it at Apple Arcade, Sunday made better movies thanks Apple TV+ there is no better music, thanks Apple MusicSo I don't see anything else in it other than the collation.
👍
As you say, it doesn't work on the platform, but it does on the content. :)
Could some Forza be played on it, that would be great.
I prefer consoles like Xbox or PlayStation but such a console with an M1 chip... that wouldn't make sense but for a console like Nintendo Switch it could be very good.
Also, the console should not have an M1 chip, but should have a specially designed chip for games. This means that there will be more emphasis on graphics.
*not an M1 chip, but an M chip specialized for games, but even then, it doesn't make sense on a non-portable console
ProWouldn't that make sense? M1 is the weakest as far as the new ones are concerned Apple chip. According to the test, these chips come with a graphics cardonem to 2,6 TFLOPS.
Pro Interesting facts about the last generation of consoles:
PS4: 1.84 teraflops
PS4 Pro: 4.2 teraflops
Xbox One S: 1.4 teraflops
Xbox One X: 6 teraflops
Nintendo Switch: 1 teraflops
It is already an "older" generation of consoles, but in this comparison it is a habitoneyou are more than a basic PS4 / Nintendo / Xbox.
From the M1X chip, up to +- 100% increase in graphics performance (i.e. +- 4-5 Tflops). And that's what dad is supposed to be about leakovana Apple console with its own specialized chip – I wouldn't be surprised if it had a performance of 6-10 Tflops (which is already the performance of the current PS5). So I wouldn't say much about it not being useful. Of course, if it's portable, it's quite possible that it will have 2 graphics modes similar to the Switch, namely a docked console vs. a console without docku. But it still easily surpasses the previous generation of consoles. :) on which the games still look decent.
