Apple developing official 1st party physical CONTROLLER!

If true it's a bold move saying that all of their touch devices are inferior when it comes to controls

I mean years of the iPod touch and iPhone with the touch ability and now Apple is saying they're all bad for controlling their devices.

You have to wonder how far this is going to go, with the death of Steve Jobs is Apple finally going to start fixing his bad ideas starting with touch controls?

Sure does look like it.

Think of it, years of the Jobs regime and every single complaint about the touch controls were answered with "the touch is the future, the best and only way to have users experience all the iDevices can do"

Now there's a 180 and they're showing a controller to be built in house?

This goes against everything they've said about their devices and worse yet what about all their customers who asked for something other then touch and were told "you're wrong our way is best"?

I can only think that this is the start of Apple starting to fix what Jobs broke there

Are you not familiar with Apple and it's products?

Since Jobs left they've been trying to refine their control for devices, here's one of their latest offerings....

This is pretty common knowledge

How about an iphone with a removable controller? Yes there are accessories but they are all horrid. The only way the idea can succeed is if the iphone itself is made with the controller in mind.

Apple can pretty much kill handheld gaming completely by coming up with such an iphone.

[QUOTE="garrett_duffman"][QUOTE="musicalmac"] This has very little to do with what you posted or this thread. There's a disconnect here you haven't quite discovered yet.Kid-Atari

Well said Sir.

I think it's remarkable how Jaysonguy manages to spread his very own and special brand of stupidity all across all these boards without even a hint of a reaction from the mods and admins.

Sorry for the interruption, Apple guys. Keep doing your thing.

I'm torn over whether a physical controller would be a good thing or not, I mean yeah it would make fps especially a lot easier to play.. but surely the whole point is mobile gaming and when it gets to the point where you have to carry a controller round with you its going a bit far i think. Saying that I'd prob buy one just for home use anyway:)
