PopCap has released a new update for its original Plants vs. Zombies game on iOS platforms, adding support for the newest Apple devices, as well as bug fixes and enhancements.

Plants vs. Zombies 1.9.7 has been released for both iPhone and iPad players, and includes “optimization for the latest and greatest devices.” PopCap is, of course, referring to the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c.

It isn’t clear exactly what hardware the new update leverages, but it might have something to do with the faster A7 chip inside the iPhone 5s. The 5c, as far as I know, has the same A6 processor as the iPhone 5.

The 1.9.7 update further ensures “operating system compatibility and stability,” and includes “gameplay bug fixes to keep Plants planting & Zombies zombie-ing.”
