Another photo was also released by Riley Testut showing the Switch Pro controller connecting through Bluetooth with customizable controls. However, the controller compatibility was confirmed by Nat Brown, an engineering manager at Apple.
Though this is not the first controller backed by iOS, in 2021, Apple added support for the PS5 DualSense and Xbox Series X controllers
