The first controller to use iOS 7’s support for Bluetooth game controllers has been revealed.
The GameCase from iPad accessory manufacturer ClamCase is compatible with any of Apple’s Bluetooth-enabled iOS 7 devices, has a built-in battery and aims to give mobile and tablet gamers a console controller-like experience.
Apple’s reveal of the iPhone 5S and detailing of iOS 7 has led some observers to predict a big push in gaming for its iOS platforms, fuelled by the addition of controller support, the use of a 64-bit platform in the 5S' A7 processor to enhance performance of graphically-intense apps and the announcement of Infinity Blade III at the iPhone launch event.
iOS 7, a major overhaul both graphically and internally for iOS devices, has already been downloaded by over a third of Apple device owners eligible for the update.
GameCase is currently collecting emails for future updates on its website, alongside more details of the controller.
