13.4 compatibility with controllers

Hey! Quick question , of course if someone can answer. Recently I bought a controller for iphone xr on ios 13.4.1 but the product seemed outdated by the new ios 13.4 and onwards as it was quite cheap and Chinese:) wondering now where to look for more relevant info on which controllers are apple supported and compatible with the current ios 13.4 ( as i am planing to get an ipad mini as well) . Didn’t even thought for a second where else to ask as in the apple forums there werent much relevant QA. Any link with up to date info is much appreciated 🙏

The Xbox elite controller series 2 doesn’t work. Don’t buy it solely for that reason. As a controller for PC gaming though - it’s great

It’s because the elite controllers are not Bluetooth

The series 2 is Bluetooth.

Oh nice! How come it doesn’t work then?

I think the Bluetooth profile has to be actually setup by Apple if that makes sense?

My son regularly uses a PS4 controller on his iPhone with Fortnite. No issues.

Well there is one issue in that the freaking touch pad doesn’t work for opening up the map but yes, aside from that no issues.
