14 DAY TRIAL // A MFi (Made for iPhone) controller from Logitech is about to hit the market, according to a disclosure by @evleaks, which has provided accurate leaks in the past.
A case-controller that wraps around your iPhone, this Logitech gamepad essentially turns any iDevice into a portable gaming console, much like the PlayStation Portable / Vita.
If the images are accurate, Logitech will have one of the finest looking iOS game controllers on the market, not to mention the fact that it will reportedly boast its own battery pack. The hardware is said to connect to the iDevice via Bluetooth.
Various similar solutions have already been created, but none have received Apple’s blessing via direct API (application programming interface) support.
There’s no information as to when this controller might become available. The leaked images seem to be press materials, so if Logitech has prepped those for release, then the launch of the hardware itself shouldn’t be too far off.
