iOS 16 has native support for Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons and Pro Controller

switch-joycon-630x391.png

Apple has a history of being stingy about the types of Bluetooth devices it would let sync to iPads and iPhones, especially when it comes to game controllers. That's changed a little, recently, and as of the brand new beta for iOS 16, Apple devices can connect to Nintendo controllers right out of the box. After iOS 16's beta release dropped following the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference yesterday, an app developer noticed that the Nintendo Switch Pro controller natively worked. Joy-Cons also pair seamlessly, and can be used as two separate controllers, or as one complete controller, a notable detail, as other devices have struggled to recognize two Joy-Cons as one controller in the past. iOS 16 is currently available in beta, with a scheduled release for later this Fall.

watch nintendo disable the support on apple products either by pulling an apple play on apple themselves (Lawsuit/C&D oh the iriony) or simply by updating the joycon firmware
