Elite 2 Bluetooth on iOS

TrevorPlett1 · Nov 7, 2019

Will the elite 2 controller be updated to work with Apple devices? I upgraded from the first elite controller because it had Bluetooth and I come to find it won’t hook to most of the things I want. Feeling a bit ripped off

apparently ios 13 does not and may never support the elite 2 controller specifically. most every other bluetooth controllers work but not the elite.

Hey there TrevorPlett1,

At the moment you are only able to connect to Xbox consoles and Windows PC's. Take a look at the following support article to view more information.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller compatibility

I hope this helps.

You mean the update just fixed it. . .

not an issue with the world wide bluetooth devices or battery level.

This is also just an iOS / elite controller 2 issue, which requires Apple to update iOS to accept the device name of the controller as it currently only accepts a standard Xbox Wireless Controller.

Hi,

I try to connect my Xbox Elite wireless controller series 2 via bluetooth on my Ipad Pro 11 inch 2018, but it can't make connection or won't be recognized. The series 2 controller supports bluetooth. I can make connection with the other older version Xbox
One S wireless controller immediately.

I'd make a phone call with Apple support and they said that maybe the problem could be that the Xbox Elite controller series 2 won't be supported and isn't compatible with Ipad.

I want to know guys if you had the same problem and I want to ask if there will be an update in the future to solve this problem?

At the moment the series 2 elite controller is not compatible with Iphones/Ipads. At the moment the only device that the series 2 controller is available on IOS side is the Mac and even that it's janky. Series 2 controller works fine on Android at the moment.
Sorry if this doesn't help you, I myself is waiting for the Bluetooth proprietary to be added to the IOS list

I have tried a test with the controller with iOS, since iOS can now use bluetooth controllers, for fun i paired a standard Xbox1 controller and worked no problem, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 does not pair with my iPhone 11 Pro Max where the
standard Xbox 1 controller does.

While I dont use my phone for playing games, i just thought to try it out for fun
