YOUR SAVES
Your saves sync across all your devices automatically, through your own iCloud. Start on your phone, pick up on the TV or the Mac. Only Apple has that data. We never see it.
PLAY ON A TV
AirPlay from your iPhone or iPad. Or plug in an HDMI cable. Or use the Apple TV app. All three work, so you can play on the big screen.
DS
Stack the screens, put them side by side, pin one in the corner, or show one at a time. Two-finger double-tap to swap. Each game remembers its layout. Touch on iPhone and iPad, mouse on Mac, right stick on Apple TV. No BIOS files.
