The new iPad Pro has better support for the PlayStation controller than the PS4

by

The newest iPad Pro not only has its own M1 processor from Apple, but also supports the latest Xbox Series X / S controllers, as well as the PS5 DualSense, complete with haptics. Speaking during the Apple Spring Loaded event, Raja Bose, Marketing Manager for the iPad product, discusses the graphics of the new iPad Pro is much improved thanks to the 8-core GPU of the M1 processor when he also revealed the news about the controllers.

“You can also play the latest games with quality console graphics at super-high framerates. This raw performance, along with the ProMotion display, four speakers and now support for the latest PlayStation or Xbox game controllers with haptics, make the games play on the iPad Pro extremely fun. “Bose said.

While Bose did not go into further detail, a DualSense screen was displayed on the screen while discussing controllers and haptics, suggesting that iPad Pro developers could take advantage of the unique feature set offered by DualSense as well as the most recent Xbox controller.

This also means that the new iPad Pro will have better PlayStation controller support than the PS4 currently has, because it doesn’t currently support DualSense natively, even if the PS3 does.
The 11-inch iPad Pro will retail for $ 799, and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro costs $ 1,099. Orders for both models will open on April 30 and will be launched in the second half of May.
