Qt 6 supports Metal as one of the backends of the new Qt Rendering Hardware Interface (RHI) architecture that the Qt Quick scene graphs uses for rendering. Qt Widgets (which QGraphicsView is a part of) will continue to use procedural painting using the existing paint engines, and not use QRhi. So the best option for you is to not use the QOpenGLWidget viewport on iOS, based on your experience that it’s slower than the default software rasteriser.
