The 'PocketPlay' iPhone Gaming Controller is Feature-Rich

The conceptual 'PocketPlay' iPhone gaming controller is an aftermarket product built with the Apple-branded smartphone in mind to help users enjoy an immersive experience that doesn't inhibit functionality.

Designed by Ethan Chiang, the controller is characterized by its compact, expandable construction that will fold out to reveal handheld controller units for each side of the device. The rear of the smartphone is kept open to maximize cooling, while also accommodating MagSafe charging during use. This will prevent the user from having to deal with wires during gameplay or end the round prematurely due to low power.
