Otterbox announces Mobile Gaming Clip for Magsafe

Otterbox combines the convenience of MagSafe with a convenient mobile gaming clip to connect your iPhone 12 and your controller to help take your gaming to the next level.

If you're a fan of playing games on your iPhone, Otterbox now aims to make it even easier. Otterbox's new MagSafe Mobile Gaming Clip allows you to attach your MagSafe-compatible iPhone to an Xbox controller for the ultimate mobile gaming experience.

The clip securely attaches to an Xbox controller (sold separately) and is designed to allow easy access to all of the features on the controller. The clip can also be detached and used as a tabletop stand.

Adjusting the angle and tilt can be done with one hand, making it easy to find the perfect setup while you're on the go. Then, when you're finished, simply remove the clip to use your controller with your console or computer.

The Otterbox MagSafe Mobile Gaming Clip is compatible with the Xbox Series X|S Controller, Xbox One Controller, Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and OtterBox Easy Grip Controller Shell. Otterbox suggests pairing the clip with an Otterbox for MagSafe case.

You can grab an Otterbox MagSafe Mobile Gaming Clip from Otterbox's website, where it retails for $39.95

In May, Otterbox released a MagSafe folio and MagSafe wallet for iPhone 12.

I love it. Advertise your product with a game that's not even allowed on the App Store because Apple can't be assed to have competition with Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is competing for $$ from gamers just like any other gaming product or service. Nobody is limited to only playing games on Xbox or only playing games through Apple Arcade. You can do one. You can do both. You can do neither. That's competition.

Not on the App Store though, which was his point.

This has already been explained ad nauseam. Apple is not blocking Microsoft or any other AAA publisher from selling games individually on the App Store or selling a subscription service for games on the App Store like Game Club does. Apple does require the games to be submitted for review by the App Store (again, like Game Club does), which means they need to be native to iOS. So if Microsoft or other AAA publishers don't release games or subscription services through the App Store, it means they don't think the return on the $$ spent porting the game(s) to iOS will be high enough. Part of that is due to how low iOS users expect games to be priced. Or the publishers have certain games that they prefer to keep on PC/consoles only because they view that as being to their advantage.
