That's the iPad with the 30-pin dock connector, right? Sadly, MFi controllers are not supported on any iPhones or iPads without Lightning ports. No clue why, but Apple made that decision long ago.

Sorry for the bad news...

A requirement of the MFi game controller standard is that the device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch) must use a lightning connector. Devices using the old 30-pin docking connector are not supported.

EDIT: Beat me to it.
