Both iPhone and Android devices are capable of running high-quality games, but there are some differences to consider when it comes to gaming.
In terms of hardware, iPhones tend to have more consistent performance across all models, as they are all made by Apple. This means that games will generally run smoothly on all iPhones, regardless of the specific model.
On the other hand, Android devices come in a wide range of models from different manufacturers, and the performance can vary significantly between them. This means that some Android devices may have better hardware for gaming than others.
In terms of software, iPhones have access to the Apple App Store, which offers a wide selection of high-quality games that are optimized for iOS. However, the number of games available on iOS is smaller than the ones available on Android devices.
Android devices, on the other hand, have access to the Google Play Store, which offers a much larger selection of games. However, many of these games are not optimized for Android and may not run as smoothly on all devices.
In terms of specific names, Some of the best gaming smartphones for Android are :
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
Asus ROG Phone 5
OnePlus 9 Pro
Motorola Edge Plus
Razer Phone 2
LG V60 ThinQ 5G
Google Pixel 5
And for iOS:

It's worth noting that, both iPhone and Android have access to popular streaming platforms like Stadia, Xbox Game Pass, and more, that allow you to play high-end games on their devices.
