iphone 13 pro max lagging while playing PUBG global

My new iPhone 13 pro max can’t handle the game PUBG mobile. Even iPhone XR can run this game smoothly but why can’t the most powerful iPhone ever created can’t?. It is always lagging, frame dropping and screen stuttering.

I thought this issue only happened to me! I am using iPhone 13 Pro, but yes often the touch isn't registered, which is so weird, even after updating to iOS 15.1. Are you experiencing same issue? Because of this, I still have to use old iPhone XR for playing games, which still performs better than iPhone 13 Pro.

Hi thanks for the prompt reply.


My issue is not about the app crashing or not working. It is not performing good enough. Other older versions of iPhones handle this game smoothly while phone 13 pro max is full of frame drops, desynchronisation and screen stuttering. As a competitive player I can’t afford to have that kind of response from this phone.


Regards

Dinu

unfortunately not much information about this. Either we wait for the game developer to update, or iOS update will realize soon and fix this (hopefully the devs are gamers so they understand). However I tried force restart the device (by volume up, volume down, then power button), and it did fix the issue for a while, then the issue happened again.
