Pips and Pixels is a new column by James Bentley, iMore's resident gaming expert, covering all things gaming in the Apple ecosystem. Looking at news, accessories, and titles you might have missed out on, Apple is becoming more serious about gaming than ever before. With an eye on the wider games industry, James will guide you through what could be next for Apple gamers.
This week’s gaming news has been mostly focused on the very public fight between Apple and Epic. The two tech titans have very different approaches to the market (IE, both companies want as much money as possible from their software), but the people who lose out most are those who just want to play Fortnite natively on their iPhones. Though you could opt to play Fortnite through a streaming service, customers who have bought an iPhone 15, the best iPhone, won’t notice the power upgrade without a native port.
