[Rumour] Apple Preparing a ‘Portable Hybrid Console’ With a Brand New SoC That Offers Enhanced GPU Performance Increase

https://wccftech.com/apple-developing-portable-hybrid-console/

Sounds like Apple is interested in making a Switch competitor. Take it with a grain of salt.

I assume it would run iOS games, right? Hard to imagine Apple launching a brand new platform just for games when they don't really make any of their own. If so, it's also hard to imagine it doing a whole lot better than Android gaming devices like Shield or *shudder* Ouya. Then again, people love that Apple logo. By some miracle it might legitimize mobile as a serious gaming platform for more than cheap cash grabs.

Yea it would run iOS. I think Apple wants to push Apple Arcade more and more so making a portable handheld with something similar to Joycons could make it work. I'd be curious about the price but one thing I will say about Apple is that when they go into a certain market, they certainly put effort into it unlike many Android gaming devices. And Apple's own SoCs are quite powerful as well. It will be interesting to say the least.
