    I have to say, although I think the iPhone and iPad are very powerful and capable gaming machines, they have no games. It’s all freemium crap. COD Mobile and Mario Kart are great and I enjoy them, but they are freemium titles designed specifically to make you spend spend spend.. now look at the Switch and the Switch Lite, fantastic machines and portable and complete with a big games library now, mostly premium games with no in app purchases.
    Thats vastly more important then the power under the hood, and why Apple will never be able to seriously compete in the mobile games market.
    Not true.  There are plenty of premium games available.  It's just that many people have grown up with the "free" attitude and feel anything more than "free" is a ripoff.

    Are you willing to pay $19.95 (+/-) for a quality iOS game if it means no ads?
    Yes I would pay that much for a decent game personally. I agree their are premium but they are few and far between, and some of those premium games still have in app purchases. Hence the free attitude you mention. 
    Ads are fine, but their are plenty of games that are freemium, want you to pay lots of money and still contain endless ads no matter how much money you spend on them.
    Apple Arcade was a good idea but it very noticeably lacks popular big name titles from big name publishers, because those publishers are taking it in using the freemium model.

    EA has a lot to answer for too for what they have done to mobile games and the freemium business model..
