The iPhone’s new Game Mode makes it faster and more responsive

Apple is bringing Game Mode to iOS devices as part of iOS 18. The new feature was announced at WWDC 2024 on Monday.

When Game Mode is on, your device will minimize background activity to maximize frame rates and will have improved responsiveness with AirPods and game controllers, according to Apple software chief Craig Federighi.

Apple added a Game Mode to macOS last year.
