Apple Enables Wired Xbox Controller Support on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS

The latest updates allow Xbox controllers to connect via USB, enhancing gaming experiences on Apple devices.

Apple's iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15 Sequoia updates now support wired Xbox controller connections.
Previously, only PlayStation controllers could connect via wired connections to Apple devices, while Xbox controllers were limited to Bluetooth.
Apple devices with USB-C ports can connect directly with a USB-C to USB-C cable, while older devices with Lightning ports require a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.
The update supports Xbox's proprietary USB protocol, allowing for reliable and low-latency gaming.
This move aligns with the trend towards cross-platform gaming and supports Apple's growing library of major gaming titles.
