It fits phones up to seven inches with slim-to-medium cases, includes a D-pad, face buttons, bumpers, triggers and anti-drift analog thumbsticks, and works with cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, PS Remote Play and Steam Link. It's available now for $100.
John Ternus, who officially became Apple's CEO today as Tim Cook shifts to Executive Chair, has created an X account under the handle @johnternus.

Best Buy's Labor Day sale is offering unlocked iPhone Air models at $150 off, with open-box units discounted up to $359. Meanwhile, Amazon has cut iPhone 17 Pro prices by up to $285, and Apple's refurb store is briefly offering a 16GB/1TB M5 MacBook Air configuration for $240 off before stock likely runs out.
Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital claims iPhone 18 Pro will launch in three colors: Dark Cherry/Burgundy, Sky Blue, and Black, with Silver unlikely to appear. This would mean Apple drops every iPhone 17 Pro color for an entirely new lineup ahead of next week's Apple event.
John Ternus formally took over as Apple's chief executive today, succeeding Tim Cook after his 15-year run atop the company. Cook now moves into the role of executive chairman, and Ternus is expected to make his first major public appearance as CEO at Apple's launch event next week, where new iPhones and Apple Watches are anticipated.
John Ternus, formerly Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, officially took over as CEO on Tuesday after Tim Cook stepped down following 15 years leading the company. Cook, who guided Apple to a $4 trillion valuation, will remain involved as executive chair, and insiders say the leadership shift is expected to bring continuity rather than dramatic change. The transition arrives just over a week before Apple's iPhone launch event on September 9.
Reports ahead of Apple's Sept. 9 event suggest the iPhone 18 Pro's main camera could gain a variable aperture, letting the lens opening physically adjust rather than stay fixed like on the iPhone 17 Pro. Samsung and Xiaomi both tried similar variable-aperture designs in past flagships but later dropped the feature.
Apple's leadership page now lists John Ternus as CEO, with Tim Cook moving into a newly created Executive Chair role on the Board of Directors. The board section has also been redesigned to include headshots for all members, including Cook and Ternus, who joins as a director in his new capacity.
Apple has installed John Ternus, previously its senior vice president of hardware engineering, as chief executive, succeeding Tim Cook as of September 1st. Johny Srouji has been elevated to chief hardware officer as part of the leadership shuffle.
John Ternus took over as Apple's chief executive on September 1, inheriting a fall lineup that includes a foldable iPhone, a new AI-enabled smart display, and an updated Siri platform. He steps into the role while Tim Cook stays on as executive chairman, and while Apple grapples with a memory chip shortage, App Store revenue pressure, staff departures, and an AI program still trailing competitors.
