A leaked ad photo shows Belkin to be bringing an iPhone 8-button D-pad controller atachment — with App Store support — to market soon. Â According to a new image Belkin is actually looking to produce an App Store gaming controller, though we’re still not entirely convinced that what we’re seeing is legitimate. The ad copy of the accompanying unconfirmed image claims that the new “JoyPod” will provide App Store support. This means Apple will be incorporating official support for the accessory in the iPhone SDK. Other features listed include:
- 8 buttons total (6 on the front)
- Audio output
- Dock connector for power and syncing
iControlPad is another control pad accessory for the iPhone that has been under development, but without Apple’s involvement, that controller may be limited to Jailbroken apps.
