Apple is developing gaming controllers for iPhone that may launch under its Beats brand instead of Apple's own label. Two controllers codenamed T6502 and T1057 are in development with dual thumbsticks, shoulder buttons, and D-pads, with Beats executives leading product engineering. A Beats-branded controller could offer more affordable pricing while leveraging overlap between gaming and Beats brand communities.
