Apple rethinks the video game controller for iOS 15

Video games on touch screen terminals are extremely complicated with the difficulty of obtaining natural “feedback”. We’re all used to playing with control buttons, but things change when these games land right on the screen of our cellphones, where among other things our hands take up part of the screen.

This is what Apple has analyzed recently, we imagine that Apple Arcade has a lot to do with it. Now Apple has redesigned the video game controller for iOS 15 and made it available to developers,

Will this have a major impact on the iOS video game catalog?

The overhaul will be as you can see in the upper area capture. We have a virtual double joystick on the left and on the right, while the right joystick will include two buttons, “A” and “B” which will help us to take advantage of the action buttons. However, at least in these early images, I still find the UI still too intrusive on the screen, we easily lose 30% of the content that is displayed in total,

which remains for the moment the main obstacle facing developers of iOS video games and those that have been ported from other platforms.

It will basically depend on the developers whether it reaches iOS 15 games and Apple Arcade games. We remember that this “improvement” will also be implemented in iPadOS 15, since its base is the same as that of the iPhone. Likewise, it doesn’t look like it’s going to represent a major revolution in the way we play with our iPhone. Apple Arcade still does not offer content since we had the latest additions over two months ago, is Apple abandoning the platform?
