Apple is developing its own gaming controllers for the iPhone under the Beats brand, aiming to strengthen its position in mobile gaming. Work on the devices has been ongoing for about a year. References to two unannounced gamepads with designations T6502 and T1057 have been found in the macOS 26.7 code. The controllers will feature a standard set of controls: a D-pad, analog sticks, triggers, bumpers, and menu buttons. The T1057 version will be equipped with additional sensors, including an accelerometer and gyroscope, for tracking user movements. The two controllers will differ in the nature of their haptic feedback. The choice of the Beats brand, according to sources, will allow for lower device costs and the use of less expensive materials. Expert Mark Gurman notes that to attract mass buyers, the controller must have a moderate price. Currently, Apple's online store only offers third-party gaming controllers from SteelSeries and Backbone. The exact timing of the presentation has not been disclosed, but it is expected that the new accessories will debut soon.
