You can also check the top of a controller to identify whether it has Bluetooth, but most modern Xbox One controllers do. If it has a headphone jack at the bottom, then you’re probably good to go. While all PS4 DualShock 4 controllers support Bluetooth and will work fully, over on the Xbox side, you’ll need to make sure your controller supports Bluetooth. I’ve been trying out an Xbox One S controller (with Bluetooth support) on my iPad Pro running the new public beta, and I’m convinced this is a big step toward using an iPad as a portable game console.
It’s a big change from the select MFi Bluetooth controllers that were supported before, and it means you can now easily connect any PS4 or Xbox One controller to your device to play games on the go. Apple is bringing Xbox and PlayStation 4 controller support to the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV this fall.
