Apple may consider the iPhone to be a gaming device, but even it's willing to admit that traditional gaming demands a proper gamepad. The folks at Logitech apparently agree, and seem to be preparing to release an iPhone 5-compatible gamepad with its G-prefix branding. An image acquired by Kotaku shows four-button Logitech gamepad build around an iPhone shaped hole. A Lightning connector pokes at of the gap's right side, indicating a hard-wired (or at least device powered) peripheral. According to
Kotaku,
this will be just one of several third-party gamepads designed for iOS
7's Game Center overhaul, and Apple won't be providing a first-party
solution, either. The blurry image ought to be flavored with the
standard amount sodium chloride, but we wouldn't scoff at an officially
supported gamepad solution.
