The Best iPhone for PUBG Mobile – Which One is Right for You?


If you’re a die-hard PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile (PUBG Mobile) player who relies on your iPhone to get the best performance out of the game, you probably already know that Apple has released three new iPhones in September 2018 – the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Which one of these new iPhones should you get? Read this article to find out!


Buyers Guide

It's never easy trying to choose a new phone. Especially when there are so many different models and brands on the market, it can be downright confusing. We have helped to make things easier by compiling a list of all the best iPhones for PUBG mobile use, as well as which features each phone has that makes it great for gaming. 

-iPhone XS Max: The newest model from Apple, with an edge-to-edge screen and lots of power. Comes in black or silver. -iPhone XR: A cheaper alternative to the more expensive models. Large display size, long battery life, and wireless charging capabilities make this a good option for gamers on a budget. 

-iPhone 8 Plus: Features face ID scanning technology and full HD resolution display that is water resistant up to 1 meter deep in fresh water for up to 30 minutes. 

-iPhone 7 Plus: Still relatively powerful despite being out of date (can't run some newer games). But otherwise perfect if you're looking for longevity without breaking the bank.


The Apple A12 Bionic Chip

The A12 Bionic chip from Apple features an improved performance, efficiency, and security. The chip contains a 3 trillion operations per second (TOPS) CPU, six cores with two high-performance cores and four power-efficient cores. The phone also has a GPU which includes two fast SIMD-based cores and four low-power general purpose graphics processing units that support machine learning. In total, the phone offers up to 50% more power than its predecessor on the same battery life! It’s no wonder why many gamers are choosing this phone as their gaming device of choice! I know what you're thinking, it's pricey but trust me when I say it's worth every penny! Now, onto the next question: What color should I get? Well, if you want your phone to stand out and be unique then go with the white model. If not then choose black or gold. Now we need to decide between storage size. To be honest, there really isn't much difference in performance since both sizes have similar specs - the only difference is price tag! And finally: Do I need an in-game controller or will my hands work just fine? To each his own but either way you'll be having some serious fun on your games!


Battery Life - What's Up with That?

Many players, myself included, find battery life to be a major factor in deciding which phone to get. It makes sense that a device that can die in less than two hours will be difficult to use when playing PUBG Mobile. Fortunately, there are some phones out there with great battery life and minimal trade-offs when it comes to their other features. In fact, if you just need the best battery life possible in an Android device, then the Google Pixel 2 XL is worth considering. 

Meanwhile, Apple's latest iPhones have incredible cameras (just like the Samsung Galaxy S9) and a beautiful display. However, because they're so expensive and drain faster than the competition (especially if you're playing on multiple devices), we recommend looking elsewhere for your next smartphone choice.


64 GB vs 256 GB

For most people, the 64 GB option is plenty of storage space to handle photos, videos, and apps. And at $399, it's also the cheapest model. If you're looking to store more than this amount and don't mind paying a little more per month for your service contract, then we recommend buying the 256 GB model because you won't have to delete anything off your phone and still have plenty of space left over. Just be aware that the newest model will cost upwards of $1000 with a plan with unlimited data. That may not be worth it if you just want to play games on your phone. But in some cases, like if you are running your own business or traveling all the time, it could be worth paying an extra fee to not worry about having enough room on your phone. 

We've seen a lot of people in our office debate which iPhone they should buy for their next device and many of them lean towards Apple's latest model, which starts at $999 for the base 32GB model. Our recommendation is to spend some time thinking about what type of experience you want from your next device before going into an Apple Store or online shopping for one so that you can make sure it meets your needs before buying it.




iOS 12 vs Android Oreo

Do you want an Android or an iOS phone? This can be a tough decision. With iOS 12, the newest release of Apple's operating system, it may be worth staying on the iOS platform to take advantage of all of the new features and updates. If you've already owned an Android phone, then you should make sure that your next purchase will be on that platform. It also depends on what type of phone or device is going to suit your needs best: whether it's one with a large screen or one with high camera quality. Finally, don't forget to check out which countries offer the best cellular coverage and internet access- this will affect what type of service plan you need in order to get reliable data plans while traveling abroad!


Reviews of the Top 3 Phones on the Market

Listed below are the best three phones on the market, and an overview of how they would do in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. 

Apple iPhone XS Max - The Apple phone will work great for mobile gaming, as it has no lag. For Fortnite and Pubg Mobile specifically, its small screen may not be large enough to see certain items or you might accidentally swipe past something on the map that you wanted to look at. Its size is similar to an iPad Mini when held vertically which can make it tough to use your thumbs while trying to play the game with one hand.
