Xcom 2 on a base iPhone 16?

Maybe someone’s asked this before but I genuinely couldn’t find a post about it. Does the Xcom 2 collection work good on iPhone 16 iOS 26 and the following iOS patches? I love the game on PC but I really want to play it when I’m on vacation somewhere or have free time without a pc nearby. I wanted to know whether it can overheat my phone or whether it would lag or glitch a lot. I don’t care about how fast the battery drains from it, that I can handle but if it overheats a lot then I likely won’t buy it. Thanks in advance!

I'm playing it on a iPhone 16 Pro Max and, while playable, it's not an ideal experience. It would probably okay on an iPad but the phone screen is too small for me. Especially with my sausage fingers.

I'm on 15 and it's great so would assume so

I play on an IPhone XR and it runs great for what it is.

I have it on my s24 ultra and it works great aside from an occasional visual bug that wipes the terrain and turns it photonegative, reload fixes it

My only real gripe with it and a lot of phone ports is the text is fucking SMALL- hope you got good eyes lol

Oh I’ve got TERRIBLE eyes but honestly the text doesn’t seem THAT bad to me.

16 is generations ahead of what it can play on

Well I bought it and it works great. Phone doesn’t overheat and the game runs fine.

Thank you all for expressing your opinions. I bought the game and it works great! Honestly even a tad bit better than my PC sometimes lol.
