MOGA's upcoming iPhone controller shown off in leaked trailer

You're gonna need bigger pockets

MOGA's upcoming iPhone controller shown off in leaked trailer

You might remember that one of the big features in iOS 7 was Apple-approved controller support.

These MFi (Made for iOS) controllers were expected to be everywhere by now. As you may have noticed, they're not, though.

Instead, we've seen a few leaks, a few teaser images, and not much else. MFi is, in effect, MIA.

In the latest leaked footage to hit the interwebs, however, MOGA's upcoming iPhone controller is shown off. This 'beauty' is called the "MOGA Ace Power". I think we can all agree that that's an awful name.

You can check out the trailer below. It's very late '90s.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about the controller in the trailer, though, is the MOGA Boost technology inside it. There's no need for a battery charger with this bad boy wrapped around your gizmo.

Much like the already-leaked Logitech controller, the MOGA Ace Power fits into the 'ungainly' category quite, errr, nicely. It may be long, sure, but it can be squished down a bit.

Oh, and this is mainly nitpicking, but I'm pretty sure that the iPhone in the video is running iOS 6, not iOS 7. Silly MOGA.

We'll let you know about a release date for the MOGA Ace Power as soon as MOGA tells us it. Don't hold your breath, though: you'll probably pass out.
