It's not so much graphics power as frame rate that matters, said Riot Games' Trent Cambell, senior technical project manager on Wild Rift at TechRadar. “On devices like the iPhone 6S (our minimum specs on iOS), our data shows a consistent frame rate of nearly 30 fps, and gamers have the flexibility to change graphics quality settings to suit their needs.
