[QUOTE="Mark W**a, post: 154503, member: 1196"] So basically this appears to be a low-level API (aptly named 'Metal' IE allows to code closer to the metal of this hardware by eliminating overhead) and that's fantastic. However this doesn't magically mean your iPad will have graphics on par with a PS4. Perhaps Pinball Arcade can take advantage of this and at least bring the visual parity of the mobile version up to last gen console standards, and even beyond (as far as resolution, IQ, and perhaps lighting are concerned). Even coding to the metal, the fact remains that hardware inside the newest iPhone/Pad is still a ways off from a PS4 (a long ways off). [/QUOTE]
