Bought these during 11.11 sales at around 33 SGD and just wanted to quickly share some thoughts on these because they are so good for the price.
So, someone I know was upgrading his phone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and kindly offered to let me test it out first. I was mostly just curious about the gaming performance since Genshin and Honkai Star Rail were both mentioned in Apple’s launch event when they were talking about the gaming performance of the new A17 Pro chipset. Some initial hands-on looks pretty promising as well with trusted reviewers stating that their MetalFX upscaling in Genshin really does look quite nice.
But the thing is that I don’t think the current version of the Genshin has been updated to support that feature, since the graphics look like they did on the iPhone 14 Plus. And not sure if Honkai Star Rail will eventually get that feature or not. So while I can’t say for sure whether things will be better or worse once that happens, I can still somewhat compare my experience playing the current version of these games on this new iPhone, and see if there are improvements to its performance and thermals.
