    Until Apple stops being Apple and gives some freedom to devs and publishers, it’s just not going to happen.

    My hopes for this are media playback when traveling and using your phone as a mobile desktop which is still one of the things I miss from Samsung — Dex was really nice when I needed it.

        For Mobile sure. But your never going to convert a Console or PC gamer to Mobile.

        My iPhone (when I get it) will basically just become an extension of my Xbox and PC when I want to do any major Gaming. But, I will still have a few time waster mobile games and now I’ll also have Monster Hunter Now, which is an actually engaging and fun POGO style game.

        Sure, for mobile games. But there not going to compete with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo in the console space. They should probably be treated as separate markets because there is really not much overlap between the two in terms of audiences.

        Really depends on how you segment gaming. Apple is constitutionally incapable of doing what it did with AppleTV+ in the gaming segment.

        Sure, but to lot of traditional gamers that means as much as saying reality TV is one of the most profitable shows to someone who doesn’t like reality TV.

    • Even just basic MHL was the bomb for use cases like that back in the day, and then Google axed it because… They wanted to sell more Chromecasts, of course. Seems we can just never have nice things.
