There's also a PUBG Mobile LITE version for older phones, which requires only 1 GB of RAM and 600 MB of free space.

PUBG Mobile on iOS: Device Requirements:

To play the game on Apple devices, you will need to have iOS 9 or later. If you have an iPhone 7 or up, you shouldn't have any trouble playing PUBG Mobile.

The bare minimum to play PUBG Mobile is iPhone 5S or iPad 2 running on iOS 9.

Always keep in mind that if your device barely hits the PUBG Mobile requirements you should try to close as many unnecessary apps as possible.
