iOS 13 - Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller NOT supported

I just got the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and when i try to pair it with my iPhone Xs Max, it wont even show up on the Bluetooth section.

My Xbox One S Controller shows up immediately but the Elite Series 2 does not, despite this version supporting Bluetooth unlike the Elite Series 1.

So its pretty obvious Apple was very specific to what controllers iOS13 would be able to recognize. I guess it has some codec that needs to be updated or something.

(btw There are NO iOS Community section in here either....... Whats up with that?)

Can anyone point me in the right direction to provide my feedback over this matter. So at least Xbox Elite Series 2 gets supported on future updates?

Anyone?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

Hello carlos23skype,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. I understand from your message that you’re unable to pair your Xbox Elite Series 2 controller with your iPhone. I’ve got an article which will show you which controllers are compatible at this time: Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device.

You can leave feedback and suggestions for other controllers you'd like to see supported here: Product Feedback - Apple.

Cheers!

Not Yet....

in the meantime go to the Apple product feedback section and leave your interest for this.

https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Also you can call apple support and speak with someone directly and let them know so they pass it to their developers team.

Just act like you dont know why the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is not working. Let them know your are concern in relation to use APPPLE ARCADE with your favorite controller.
