This only encourages my theory that apple is going to release their own game console (or beefed up microconsole Apple TV refresh?) and mobile is the first step to test interest

They wouldn’t be going so hard with AAA publishers and pursuing graphical fidelity (ray tracing) if they weren’t

I would shocked if apple tried breaking into console wars.

I'll even be surprised if any of the handhelds other than steamdeck + switch survive the decade.

They tried one before (Apple Pippin LOL)

Only way Apple would do it is buying up studios like Microsoft, and that truly would be a hellscape of those are the only two companies left. Neither have any taste in the industry.

They actually made an attempt with the pippin way back.

It didn't do well.

Why wouldn’t they just make a service on the phone and then a controller to play it?

I can already remote play games on Xbox and ps5 with my iPhone. With a Bluetooth paired controller and display port output wouldn’t the essentially be 95% of the way to a cool steam-link type device?

Hmm.. That is a valid point. I just have a hunch…especially now that they’re experimenting with HDR on DisplayPort
