Apple is taking interest in gaming. After all, games are really the most famous category of apps, plus Apple did fund the Apple Arcade to bring a more superior gaming experience to gamers who were tired of games that had ads and in-app purchases. It’s fair to say they have some interest.
So that it isn’t a complete surprise that Apple could also be exploring creating its own gaming controller. This rumor is according to a patent discovered by Cult of Mac where it looks like Apple is looking into creating a gaming controller for its gadgets that has magnet attachments.
This means that users will be able to fast hook it up to devices like the iPhone or iPad and start gaming quickly. Since Apple has been rumored to bring MagSafe to the iPad, such an accessory does make sense. Plus Apple can also provide optimal compatibility, maybe with games on the Apple Arcade.
