A gamepad designed specially for the iPhone 5 was leaked online over the weekend.
Built by Logitech and featuring a Lightning connector, the iPhone 5 gamepad looks to bring that all-important and sorely missed physical control element to iOS gaming titles.
Touch-based gaming is okay for things like Angry Birds but titles like Six Guns, Real Racing, and Dead Trigger – console-like games, basically – have been screaming out for something like this for what seems like eons.
An image acquired by Kotaku shows four-button Logitech gamepad build around an iPhone shaped hole. A Lightning connector pokes out of the gap's right side, indicating a hard-wired (or at least device powered) peripheral, reports Engadget.
The Logitech gamepad is just one of several third-party gamepads designed for iOS 7's Game Center overhaul. Apple, contrary to previous reports, will not be providing a first-party solution either, claims Kotaku.
Apple’s iOS 7 adds in support for third party controllers so expect to see this device – along with a trio of others – launched during the autumn.
