Apple plans to launch two new iPhone game controllers branded under Beats, leveraging the brand for a more affordable and expressive design distinct from Apple's premium style. These controllers aim to expand Apple's footprint in the mobile gaming accessory market and will support existing iOS controller software features.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Consumer.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Apple is using Beats as a testing ground for mobile gaming hardware, opening an easier entry for you in gaming accessories with more flexible design and pricing. Expect new competition for third-party gamepads and look for openings in iPhone gaming peripherals this year.
