So you’re probably confused as to why you’re seeing these 2026 mobile playthroughs again. Put simply, I goofed up. This requires a bit of explanation.
As many of you already know, iPhones after the iPhone 6 don’t have a headphone jack. The only way to use headphones is to either use an adapter built specifically for iPhones, or use Bluetooth headphones. Normally I would prefer to use the adapter, but the one I have is all withered and the wires are exposed, and the connection even cuts out for a second or two because I guess it’s damaged. When that happens it causes the volume bar to appear on-screen and therefore in the video, which I did not want, so I had to use my wireless earbuds. But there’s a problem with that too. For whatever reason the right earbud is much quieter than the left earbud (I think it’s a bit damaged), and this resulted in harder hearing on the right side. To compensate, I would adjust one of the iPhone’s system settings that rebalances audio to a certain side so that both sides would be of equal volume. What I did not realise until it was too late is this affected the videos that I recorded as well, so you’d hear the audio much stronger on the right side than the left, and unfortunately that extended to some of my FNaF 2026 mobile playthroughs, specifically 4, SL and 6 since those are the most dependent on directional audio and headphones. This doesn’t affect the FNaF 1-3 or UCN playthroughs since the first 3 games don’t have any important directional audio, and UCN’s only dangerous directional audio cue was Ballora, whom I could easily tell what side she was coming from even without headphones. Also, not all of the FNaF 4-6 videos have incorrect audio balancing. The max modes (minus FNaF 6’s Saturday) were done months back when the old adapter I had actually worked, so the audio balancing there is fine. In the case of the miscellaneous FNaF 6 certificate videos, I didn’t need to play against the scrap animatronics, so directional audio was not of need.
Today (August 3rd when this is uploaded privately) I managed to acquire a new headphone adapter for my iPhone, so I can redo the FNaF 4-6 2026 playthroughs again with better audio balancing (I really don’t like how it is in the initial 2026 ones). These will come out at a similar rate to the other ones.
In any case, I’m glad I get to do this one again. Originally when I did the FNaF 4 mobile playthrough, it was done in the initial 2.0 remaster, and I played on an iPhone 8. Let’s just say the performance was terrible, and resulted in some things being realistically impossible to beat. Night 8 in particular just was not happening, and subsequently neither was All Nightmare. I did manage to beat night 8 by streaming the game in a Discord VC to reduce the lag (still don’t know how that works), but unfortunately that didn’t allow me to record the gameplay. I got stumped at All Nightmare anyway.
Fast forward about a year later and the 2.0.1 update comes out. It didn’t remove the lag, but it did optimise it a bit, and it made it possible to beat everything. It was still laggy, mind you, but less so.
Now that I have an iPhone 12 and everything is smooth sailing, the gameplay will look much cleaner on top of the 1080p quality and less dark colour tones.
