iOS 13 list of supported Bluetooth Controllers
The common question that I guess everyone is asking and interested to know is whether or not Apple iOS 13 compatibles with all kinds of Bluetooth Controller?
After WWDC 2019 event, the crowds – especially gamers – came to know that Apple is “soften” its MFi (Made For iPhone) policy by allowing Bluetooth non-MFi controllers to connect to any iOS devices with iOS 13 and up. PS4 and Xbox Controller were two of them. Then what else?
If you think Apple opens all kinds of Bluetooth controllers to be used on iOS 13 compatible devices, then unfortunately you are wrong. At least for now.
Tested on iOS 13 public beta 1, while PS4 and Xbox controller are supported, that’s not the case for other Bluetooth controller like the one made by iPega.
iOS 13 and up Compatible Bluetooth Controllers
So at this moment, list of Bluetooth controllers supported by iOS 13 are these:
- PS4 controller
- Xbox controller
- Any controller with MFi tag (Made for iPhone) such as Steelseries Nimbus
