Apple is developing a portable game console that will use a brand-new SoC and support ray tracing. A post on the Korean community website Cliff broke the news that Apple is developing a game console similar to the Switch. It was previously reported that Qualcomm is also developing similar things recently.
Perhaps many people would think that Apple’s iPhone and iPad series are already equipped with powerful chipsets, which can play games. It seems unnecessary for Apple to launch game console products. However, Apple’s mobile devices are not geared towards gamers. Therefore, even with strong hardware capabilities, iPhone and iPad designs do not have a strong internal cooling system, because Apple prioritizes the form factor.

The post also claimed that the company is developing a new SoC, and it is not an A-series or M-series chipset. Earlier, the whistleblower MauriQHD also talked about Apple is developing an ARM-based game console, but said it is equipped with A-series chips instead of a brand new chip.

The news also said that the SoC of this portable game console will provide enhanced GPU performance and provide ray tracing support. The news also said that Apple is negotiating with the well-known game developer Ubisoft, possibly to bring exclusive games to Apple Arcade.
At present, the news is still very uncertain, and Apple may also cancel this project. Earlier news said that it is currently developing M1X or M2 chips for the future MacBook Pro. If this chipset can provide convincing performance improvements in games, Apple does not need to develop a separate chipset.
