Full screen anti-aliasing is a feature that greatly improves the graphic quality of any game and is supported by the powervr chip. Unfortunately, you don’t have access to the feature, because the iPhone does not use EGL. Instead it uses the framebuffer extension to bind to a surface and in order to enable anti-aliasing you have to call eglChooseConfig with the EGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS parameter and this is not possible.
Funnily, enough I found a project that appears to use EGL with the iPhone: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-dj/
However, looking a bit close I see that the egl.h file does not even exist in the SDK, so the code in that project should not even compile (pretty wierd that).
This also means that the pbuffer isn’t supported, as that is enabled via eglChooseConfig as well. And to top this off I also heard that the GL_IMG_vertex_program extension is disabled (I think this prevents you from using bump mapping and cartoon rendering – as demoed in the powervr sdk)
Edit:
I reciently discovered that there exists an unofficial iPhone SDK, which includes egl. This is probably what iphone-dj was using. So, you probably can get anti-aliasing working if you don’t mind using an unofficial SDK.
