As mobile telephony has evolved, portable consoles are no longer a device to be able to enjoy our favorite games wherever we are. More and more spectacular games are becoming more common in the App Store, not only thanks to the more powerful processors but also to Apple's Metal technology. Metal was born from the need to have a more direct access to device hardware to be able to increase the graphic quality of the games.
In the last WWDC 2017, Apple presented Metal 2, the second version that ensures much more fun and quality in games. In this article we are going to show you what they are the best car games that are currently available on the App Store, games that are compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

Of the latter I will not speak since I do not consider them as car games themselves, but they are applications to spend a while while we wait waiting.
