Finding a good controller to use with your iPhone has never been easy, but you might have just gained a new one without realizing it. Per a press release, six 8BitDo controllers are now compatible with all Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, and macOS and tvOS devices.
Supported controllers include 8BitDo Ultimate Controller 2.4g, Pro, Pro 2, SN30 Pro+, SNB30 Pro for Android, and Lite SE. In order to use the feature, however, you must update the Apple device to the latest version, and the firmware of your 8BitDo controller. The company suggests using its app to perform firmware updates, which requires plugging the controller in on Windows or macOS.
