Applehas long had a strange relationship with gaming.
Yet, over the past few years, Apple has started to address this gap in its offering.
Similar, in a sense, to the Magic Keyboard or MagSafe accessories.
There were an array of other potential designs in the US patent too.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Thirdly and finally we have the most standard-looking controller in the lot.
There is one little detail that separates it from other accessories on the market.
The thing Im most surprised about regarding this collection of news is we havent seen some hardware already.
Its surprising for a couple of reasons.
The first is that Apple has enough in-house technical experience to create a fantastic controller.
The second reason Im surprised were not closer to an Apple Controller (or Apple Pad, maybe?)
Releasing it would be a license to print cash.
If Apple launches something, people buy it.
The machine becomes successful merely by being an Apple product.
Although, saying this, I do realize things arent quite as simple for Apple as they seem.
For example, weve seen an array of potential controller designs above but which one should it run with?
Not because it particularly likes the format, more because it knows theres money to be made.
And we know how Apple feels about money.
