The iPad Gamevice is (FINALLY) Coming This Month!

It’s over a year late, and months behind its brothers, but at long last it’s coming: the Gamevice for the non-mini iPad should be released this month!

The Gamevice for the regular iPad

If you’re a regular reader of my site, you know I’m a huge fan of the iPad Mini Gamevice. It’s the best MFi controller you can get, in almost every aspect. It’s only downside is that it works only with the iPad Mini – one of the weakest devices Apple sells, and a device poorly suited for gaming.

This new Gamevice model takes the same design from the iPad Mini model, but stretches it out to work with the full-size iPad Air and new 9.7-inch iPad Pro. I got a chance to use a prototype a little over a year ago, and it worked great then – presumably it’ll work even better after an extra year of development.

Many people have been waiting a long time for this product – I know I have – and I’m glad the wait is nearly over. The Gamevice is scheduled for release this month, presumably as a timed exclusive at the Apple Store; I’ll be keeping a look out for it, and I’ll post an article when it’s available.
