iOS Game Mode

Apple has introduced a new iOS Game Mode at WWDC, which allows users to manually invoke a feature that maximizes device power for gaming, minimizes background activity, and enhances responsiveness with AirPods and external bluetooth game controllers. This is part of Apple's efforts to position their handsets as alternatives to consoles, as high-end gaming moves to PC and mobile gaming continues to rise. Additionally, iOS 18 now includes an SDK for Spatial Audio, allowing developers to utilize Apple's spatial skills for audio placement in games.
