Mobile phones and tablets have smaller screens than TVs, leaving less space for graphics and controls, so you may need a game controller. However, third-party controllers are nothing new to Apple. Currently, both PlayStation’s DualSense and Xbox’s wireless controllers can be paired with an iPhone or iPad. And other controllers like Backbone One and Razer Kishi are made specifically for mobile gaming. But if you already own a Nintendo Switch, there’s no need to buy a third-party game controller.
Joy-Cons aren’t just useful for gaming on Switch. Thanks to iOS 16, you can now pair your Nintendo controller to play on your iPhone (and iPad when he releases iPadOS 16 later this year). You can download iOS 16 now. Here are three things you should do first after installing new Apple software. In recent years, game makers have introduced more complex gameplay into mobile experiences.
