            The only reason it got 120fps support is that Apple forcing developers to add it,go check out goldenreviewer on YouTube he tested both iPhone 13 pro max and ipad pro m1 only ipad was able to play 100fps to 110 for 7 minutes then it starts to throttle iphone was not able even to reach 60 fps let alone 120 fps

                People claim SD888 phones or A15 in iPhone 13 beats PS4 and yet PS4 still has significantly richer and better gaming performance 😂 not to mention the thermal throttling

But considering even gaming phones drop framerates in the first few minutes anyway then that game does have issues.

                        PC version still having microstutters here and there despite using a high end GPU

                              Fabiana, 14 Oct 2021Active cooling is needed to avoid severe throttling. At thi... moreI think the devs just want to get attention, that’s all.

                              If the iPhones throttle quickly anyways then what’s the point of 120fps option?

                              Even M1 MacBook can run Metro Exodus (Mac OS version) at ultra 30fps 1080p which is a significantly more demanding game than Genshin, so I suggest Genshin is poorly optimized. Cooling on iPads are already very good given the huge surface area to dissipate the heat and the efficiency of the chip itself.

                              Yeah devs just grab attention from Elon Musk, cannot even fix the toxicism in the community, nor the technical and gameplay issues. Gladly I uninstalled the game months ago.
