Published

on

According to nearly all the relevant benchmarks that have been run on the iPhone 5s, the device’s new A7 processor gives it a huge boost when compared to last year’s iPhone 5 and this years’ iPhone 5c.

Unfortunately, there aren’t that many applications that make use of the newly upgraded internals. Instead, users looking to grasp the magnitude of Apple’s upgrades need only try a few of the games available in the iTunes App Store. Here are the 7 best games available to test the new processing and graphics powers of the iPhone 5s.

Remember, the overwhelming majority of iPhone games should be compatible with the iPhone 5s, so games don’t have to be specifically made for the device to work.

Injustice – Gods Among Us

With its semi-rich textures and fast paced fighting combat, Injustice – Gods Among Us, is just the thing users are looking for if they want to see how the new A7 processor handles. Although the game itself is free, users can purchase more characters and posters to fight with or against. Super heroes include Batman, Green Lantern, Flash and more. Download Injustice for Free from iTunes

Call of Duty: Strike Team
