"Resident Evil 4 on iPhone 15: The Highs and Lows of Apple's Mobile Gaming Ambitions"

Resident Evil 4's mobile port to the iPhone 15 Pro aims to replicate the PS4 experience but falls short in terms of visual fidelity and performance stability. While the game maintains the core look and feel of the console version, it suffers from lower texture resolutions, reduced lighting details, and occasional frame rate drops. Despite these issues, the game benefits from faster loading times and is still a significant step up from the previous Resident Evil Village mobile port. With support for external controllers but suboptimal touch controls, the game is best played with a gamepad. Capcom's effort shows progress in mobile gaming, but there's still room for improvement to meet the expectations of Apple's triple-A gaming push.
