I could see a use case of iPhone-as-console though, so hooking it up to a tv and using a Bluetooth controller (they work well). If there’s little to no lag, we’re at a stage where a phone could be Switch-like.
I could see the iPhone console working as well, but in addition to that I'd kinda like them to make an Apple TV "Pro" with an M3 chip in it (and maybe even include a gaming controller)... Then they'd be making a wider target audience, as they've already made it very easy to write an app that works across iPhone, iPad, TV, Mac.
Then you could have a high end game experience attached to your TV if you want, or if you want to bring it with you, just carry your iPhone Pro and plug it into a TV. And game developers could say "wow ok if we use the game porting tools once we can hit the phone, TV, and Mac platforms all at once"
