Understanding the Concept of Ray Tracing on the iPhone 15 Series
Ray Tracing isn't just a dry technical term; it's the key to unlocking a world of vibrant and authentic graphics on the iPhone 15 Series. This technology accurately reproduces and simulates light and shadow in virtual environments, making images and videos unbelievably vivid and lifelike.
Featuring the powerful Apple A17 Pro chip, one of Apple's most robust and premium chips, Ray Tracing technology is showcased extensively, especially on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, making every frame, every scene astonishingly detailed and vivid.
Principles of Ray Tracing Operation
Ray Tracing isn't just exceptional; it's thanks to the perfect combination of OLED display and Apple A17 Pro chip, creating a vivid picture down to every pixel. This technology distributes light and shadow naturally, and other graphic effects like reflection and shadow become refined and realistic, contributing to creating an unexpectedly realistic virtual space. Moreover, with the advanced Metal FX feature, the iPhone 15 not only delivers high graphics quality but also preserves battery resources.
Special Features of Ray Tracing on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max Compared to Other Smartphones
What sets Ray Tracing on iPhone 15 apart? The secret lies in the exclusive Apple A17 Pro chip. While most smartphones only have RT cores, the iPhone 15 is powerfully supported with Ray Tracing technology, allowing images and graphics to have the realism and sharpness no less than dedicated gaming hardware.
Comparison with Laptops
Laptops utilize both dedicated hardware cores and RT cores to handle Ray Tracing technology. In the case of the iPhone 15, the device primarily relies on RT cores, not only saving energy but also preserving battery life, albeit with potentially minor sacrifices in performance and image quality.
Experience Gaming with Ray Tracing
Modern gamers will be delighted to know that there's a slew of games supporting Ray Tracing technology on the iPhone 15, including Assassin's Creed Mirage (2024), Death Stranding (Q4/2023), Resident Evil 4 Remake (Q4/2023), and Resident Evil Village (Q4/2023). These games, with Ray Tracing technology, are sure to astonish you with their high-quality graphics and lifelike, sharp images, providing an unparalleled gaming experience.
Resident Evil Village
This is the latest installment in the Resident Evil series (excluding remakes) and continues the story of Ethan Winters, introduced in RE7. Released in 2021, this game was welcomed as a creative step forward for the series, bridging the gap between the new protagonist Ethan and the old game line when he encounters former soldier Chris Redfield.
In terms of storyline, Resident Evil Village takes place 3 years after the events of RE7. Ethan Winters and his daughter Rosemary are captured by Chris Redfield, but their transport is involved in an accident, leaving them stranded. Ethan must venture into the nearby mysterious village to find his daughter, but it's no ordinary place – it's overrun by werewolves (Lycans) and ruled by 4 lords: Lady Dimitrescu, Salvatore Moreau, Karl Heisenberg, and Donna Beneviento.
Aside from the main game, Resident Evil Village also has an expansion called Shadow of Rose, which tells the story of Ethan Winters' daughter. It's unclear whether Capcom intends to bring this content to the iPhone 15 Pro – if they do, iOS gamers will be in for a treat as it's a very captivating story.
Resident Evil 4 (Remake)
Recently, Capcom has been consistently releasing 3 remakes for classic Resident Evil games, all of which have been successful. Resident Evil 4 is the latest of these, receiving high praise from both the gaming community and the press when it was released on PC and consoles in March 2023. The game is being ported to the iPhone 15 Pro and is set to be officially released later this year.
In this AAA title, players take on the role of special agent Leon Kennedy and travel to a remote village in Spain to rescue Ashley Graham, the daughter of the President of the United States. Here, Leon learns that the Los Illuminados cult has infected the villagers with a parasitic organism called Las Plagas to control them.
And so Leon's rescue mission becomes a fight for survival, as he must both search for Ashley and protect her while finding a way to escape. Fortunately, the game has greatly improved Ashley's AI shortcomings, so players' experience won't be as frustrating as in the original version released in 2005. Mytour believes that iPhone 15 Pro and above gamers will enjoy this game.
Death Stranding
This might be the most surprising name at Apple's Wonderlust event. Death Stranding is a heavy 'delivery simulation' game, with top-notch graphics and unique gameplay that made a big splash when it was first released on PS4 in 2019. After 4 years and several versions on PS5, Mac, PC, the game now officially welcomes another version specifically for iPhone 15 Pro and above.
Despite the controversial gameplay of Death Stranding, it can't be denied that this is another success from the mind of designer Hideo Kojima. In this game, players take on the role of a deliveryman tasked with delivering strange goods in a post-apocalyptic world, getting acquainted with a concept called 'Social Strand' and playing multiplayer mode... alone.
It sounds contradictory, but it's actually quite understandable: even though you never see other players in the game, everything you do leaves a mark on the game world. The roads you build, the parcels you drop, the stairs, ropes you set up to overcome obstacles... all can be used by other players, and they can 'like' to let you know how much their efforts have been appreciated.
Assassin's Creed Mirage
This is the 4th AAA game set to debut on the iPhone 15 Pro, with an expected release date in early 2024. The game is slated to launch on traditional gaming platforms in October, so iOS gamers won't be too far behind their PC and console counterparts in enjoying it.
In terms of content, Assassin's Creed Mirage is one of the latest titles in the familiar Ubisoft game series. This game will take players back to 9th-century Baghdad, playing as Basil - a character who appeared in AC Valhalla - to explore the mysterious land of a thousand and one nights. The game's story follows Basil as he transitions from a petty thief to a member of the Assassin's Creed, fighting for freedom and justice against the Templar Order.
The gameplay of Assassin's Creed Mirage promises to be a 'return to roots.' The game won't turn you into a straight-up fighter swinging a hammer into the crowd. Instead, you'll need to cleverly blend into the crowd, climb, and hide wisely to complete your missions.
The Division Resurgence
Also from Ubisoft, but The Division Resurgence is a third-person shooter and the latest installment in the familiar The Division series. This game is designed to be a 'game as a service' and promises regular updates. The release date for the game on iPhone 15 Pro is expected in early 2024.
Although Resurgence's storyline is completely separate from the previous 2 versions, its gameplay remains unchanged. Players will battle in a vast city, using various weapons from shotguns to drones to eliminate different enemies, scavenging loot dropped from enemies to craft better weapons and equipment for themselves. You can think of it as Diablo with guns, or Monster Hunter in the modern era.
Commitment
Hopefully, you now have a deep and comprehensive understanding of Ray Tracing Technology, the shining star of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max in image reproduction and display. The excellent combination of powerful hardware and unique technology not only opens up new possibilities in image display but also lays the foundation for limitless graphic experiences, unrestrained by imagination. Join Mytour in anticipating and exploring more creative technologies in the coming time because surely, the journey of exploring technology never ends!
