iOS 16 pairs with Switch Joy-Cons

8 Jun 2022

Rejoice, Apple and Nintendo fans!

The newly announced iOS 16 operating system will pair with Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers, it’s been discovered.

iOS devices can currently pair with Bluetooth enabled controllers including the Xbox Wireless Controller, PlayStation DualShock 4 and DualSense and more, but have never been compatible with Joy-Cons.

According to iOS 16 tester Riley Testut, that’s all about to change.

“iOS 16 natively supports Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers,” Testut wrote. “Can confirm they work perfectly with Delta.”

While it’s good news for most, iOS 16 will not be supported on iPhone 7 or below, iPhone SE (first gen) and a range of iPad and iPad Pro models.

We’ll let you know when iOS 16 is available to the public.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
