Equipped with a wheel that looks exactly like that of the first generation iPod,the new version of the Siri Remoteannounced duringTuesday evening's keynotecosts sixty-five euros. But its design is not the only aspect that has changed compared to the previous edition. Indeed, some have since realized that the device does not supportis the accelerometer and the gyroscope.
These components, which we also find in our iPhones, make it possible to record the speed and movement of the remote control, or to position it in space by determining its orientation. So many very practical solutions when it comes to indulging invideo games, a sector increasingly invested by Apple.
The Siri Remote for games is over
However, these technical characteristics allowed the Siri Remote, which was discontinued this week, to control a few simple titles, for example to point and click on an option in a game. But this is now ancient history, so that those who opt for the product announced at the start of the week must now turn to athird party controller.
It was enough to remind us that about a year earlier, rumors in favor of an Apple controller had been published on the web. Few details have leaked about it, but it is entirely possible that such an idea is indeed in Cupertino's plans. It would be an accessory of choice for hisApple TV, but not only that.
Apple and gaming
Because for several months now, we have noticed that the Apple firm is getting closer and closer to the creators of video games and their users, including on mobile.Apple Arcadefor example, which costs 4.99 euros per month, is trying to attract more and more renowned studios such as the one behind the excellentCut the Ropeor the developers ofStar Trek: Legends.
The proprietary operating systemiPadOS 14, meanwhile, is now compatible with mice, keyboards and controllers. So many possibilities offered for games, to match all types of profiles.With the M1 chip under the hood, Apple tablets have even become as efficient as real laptops.
