Apple is working on physical game controller for iOS devices, according to a recent report from AnandTech.
Although many casual Android/iOS games do just fine with touch, some are certainly better suited for some sort of a controller. While controller support in Android in its infancy at best, it's more than iOS currently offers. I know of an internal Apple project to bring a physical controller to market, but whether or not it will ever see the light of day remains to be seen. As smartphones and tablets come close to equalling the performance of current game consoles, I feel like the controller problem must be addressed.
Thus far iOS users have had limited options when it comes to gaming controllers. iCade's 8-Bitty is perhaps the most promising option; however, it's not available yet. You can also check out the more costly iControlPad.
