5 Best Apps For Your iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max in 2019 iOS 13 and the iPhone 11 series were important iterative upgrades to the iPhone line and iOS. Make the most of your new iPhone hardware and software with these great apps.

Best Graphics-Intensive Games for iPhone 11 Series

The iPhone 11 series have incredibly accomplished hardware. There’s a console-class GPU and a processor that’s faster than that in many Macbooks. Together, these make the new iPhone gaming beasts. These intensive iOS 13 games will let your new iPhone stretch its legs.

#1. Asphalt 9

The latest game in the Asphalt series features improved collision physics and a whole raft of visual improvements. The move to a physically-based material renderer makes car surfaces look stunningly realistic. While the game is limited to 30 FPS on older iOS and Android devices, the iPhone XS and iPhone 11 lines can run at a silky smooth 60 FPS. This transforms the game’s handling.

#2. Fortnite

It was a minor miracle when Fortnite came over to iOS from the console space, largely intact. This is an actual console game on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, ported over. The iPhone 11 and 11 Pro series has enough graphics power to run this game too at 60 FPS. Older devices have to make do with a 30 FPS experience. This not only means the game runs slower. At 30 FPS, it’s harder to a controller, meaning that iPhone 11 owners get a competitive edge.

#3. Block Fortress: Empires

The latest game from Foursaken is a Unity engine-based marvel. It leverages new tech like physically-based materials to reinvent the stellar Block Fortress. With all the graphics effects dialed up, this is one of the most intensive titles on the App Store. It’s one of the few games that caused my iPad Pro 2 to lag. The iPhone 11 series’ console-class hardware will let you enjoy this game’s spectacular visuals, without burning through your battery.

Console controller support was one of the biggest surprises from the iOS 13 announcement. The newest version of iOS now lets you use console controllers like the Xbox One Controller, instead of using lower-quality M-Fi controllers. There are a lot of games on the App Store ported from PC and console. While touch controls are adequate, it’s a lot easier to play them with their original controllers. Let’s take a look:

#4. Dead Cells

This is a spectacularly good Metroidvania/roguelike. It’s a game I’ve put considerable time into on PC. The iOS conversion and the touch controls are honestly as good as they can be. But this is a game that demands precise execution. iOS 13 controller support elevates Dead Cells iOS from a mere curiosity to the platform of choice for the game.

#5. PUBG

PUBG is an insanely competitive game, and anything that can get you a competitive edge helps. Hardcore PUBG gamers have earlier had to make do with the poor mobile controller. Now, with console controller support, aiming and shooting is faster and more precise. Controller support in PUBG can be the difference between also-ran and Chicken Dinner.
