Yeah I'm absolutely not surprised. Controls are terrible and you're going to drain the phone's battery. You can make it a little better if you buy accessories, but then you need to carry those accessories around and it doesn't solve the battery issue.
It makes a ton more sense to just get a standalone device and play games on that instead.

But the controller add-ons that hold the iPhone work quite well. It’s neat that the phone can generally do this stuff, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great experience. While they’re trying to show how strong it is if they cut the graphics back a bunch so it ran at a better resolution/frame rate without melting a phone it would work a lot better. The iPad is a much better choice for this. But then you have to carry an iPad and controller. And at that point I’d kind of rather just have my Switch. I know Apple is trying to show off graphically intense games. But they just don’t seem like the kind of games that would be a good fit for portable platforms to me given the limitations of the iPhone. Especially with heat. And given the already exist elsewhere it’s not exactly a big draw. I replayed symphony of the night on my iPhone and it was fantastic. I was playing dead cells on it for a while and you could tell it would’ve worked well but the game happened to be a very buggy port at the time (don’t know if it’s better). I don’t really see wanting my iPhone to be a portable PS4/PS5. Let it be its own thing.
