Lag And Fps Drop in Iphone 12 pro in Pubg
PD: Sorry my bad english.
my first ever iOS phone and I got this bad experience on mobile games🥲
even my previous phone Huawei Nova 5T that costs only 400 dollar got much better gaming experience than this 1400dollar phone☹️
I have also suspected its a problem with the performance cores not being used for some games/applications.
The most annoying thing is that while all my 2fa, work and personal setup has been transferred to the iphone 12, im still carrying around my XR to play games because there is zero issues with it.
Very, Very disappointing to say the least.
People buy iPhone for gaming but now Gaming on ios is becoming worse then android day day.
Hoping for fix soon but that hope is end now.
Now its time to shift to Andriod.
But the I feel like I bought a cheap trash device for a really high price! It’s disappointing and all my friends are happy with their iPhone 11 or Android devices gaming on 90 FPS
FaceTime starts lagging within seconds of connecting, and then frames sped up to “catch up”
Its so infuriating... I’ve resorted to using my old iPad Air (running iOS 13 something... it refuses to update to 14) and that’s working miles better than my 2 week old £1000 phone!
Please sort this out Apple, I’m getting to the stage I want to launch this phone through a wall!
This means for gaming it is annoying, but for main purpose to buy a 12 pro max, namely the photography, it becomes near useless as we cannot trust the video to be good. Hence eur 1400 of brick…
I’ll reach out for apple care to get teplacement. But as I understand it to be an A14 throttling issue, I’m fearful another phone will have identical problems.
some form of communication whats happening here or whether they’re looking into this would be nice for us premium paying customers.
iPhone 12 Pro Max here and gaming totally sucks on this thing. Older iphones performs better and this phone has been out for a while and new iPhones will come out soon and any game just sucks on it. Really hate the phone! I should have just kept my XS Max. Worst phone ever so far and apple doesn’t give a sht.
Guys, this situation is very frustating but finally there is a SOLUTION that I have found recently was a local non-official repair store that applied thermal paste inside my iphone 12 over the CPU, the device feels hotter in my hands but the technician guy told me that now the excessive heat trapped inside the phone is dissipating through the mid frame and back glass, stopping the CPU from throttling, performance is way better than before. The waranty is void, but i dont care, i paid a lot for premium performance, Apple was just ignoring this and no update have solved the problem, I guess my next phone is not going to be an Iphone...
Apple could have fixed it by just adding a simple heat pipe like the other flagships....
I've experience the same thing with pubg and NBA2K, when you start playing it's smooth, but after 5 to 10 minutes it'll get hot,frame dropes and lagging, this get more worse if you plagged it on charge, I don't know why this iPhone 12 should be better on Performance than the previous ones, but it's the Opposite way!!
Facing the same issue. Specially after updating to ios 14.7.1 never faced these type of frame drops while playing cod mobile on my 11 pro. Thats why i am really disappointed after this lag thing started to happen on my 12 pro max specially when playing games. All i want to ask apple is that what is the point of launching a new phone every year if the newest’s performance is bad than the previous one!
Totally I’ve had an awful time with this horrible thing : first twice screen dimming circus for months where screen dimmed to near darkness , dragged phone to apple till eventually got a screen replacement which did NOTHING then couldn’t face this any longer just lived with the dimness of doom - now it’s started to increasingly often give “your iPhone needs to cool down” (?) which lobotomises it for minutes in use (?) now the frame rate sucks … this never was an issue before on any other phone there’s something fundamentally wrong with this thing no one appears to want to help with or acknowledge . Help 😞 it also gets boiling hot from not much use … finger irritating hot.
The screen dimming it seems to have done in a desperate attempt to compensate for heat now someone seems to have addressed the dimness by stopping that and instead frame rate drops / overheat alert which is worse . iPhone X was subjectively way more reliable… that you’re stuck with this without proper answer or help on the top device is saddening .
Hi everyone,
I know this is an old thread but I was still having this issue on iOS 15 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Someone mentioned to turn off the picture in picture setting and that worked for me. No more lag in games and the interface.
Hopefully this works for others as well. Will report back if the issue returns.
