According to related news (Patently Apple), Apple may be creating exclusive gamepads for iPhones, iPads and other devices, and Apple has also applied for relevant patents in Europe.

Judging from the published content, Apple's gamepad may have a variety of schemes, and the style of the controller is quite different, and the appearance is similar to the switch, Nintendo and traditional controllers.
One of them is similar to Nintendo's Switch's scheme, which can turn the iPhone and iPad into a portable gaming device, and one side of the gamepad may adopt a solution connected to the Lightning interface, but it does not rule out the possibility of using a wireless solution.
Since this is not a design patent, the actual commercial product may look very different, and the actual launch is unknown
In addition, there was a possibility that Apple was developing a game end console, but I wonder if the patent has some relevance to it?
