The MOGA Rebel launched last week on MOGA’s site, but now you can pick it up direct from Apple and from Apple Stores. A listing has gone up on the Apple Store site today listing the MOGA Rebel for its standard $79.95 price. And you can pick it up at certain stores today, in case you want to go pick it up right now. This certainly makes it more convenient to pick up the gamepad when you’re buying your new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus – which the controller’s extendable arm supports.
Apple has sold the other MFi gamepads before, and has used the SteelSeries Stratus to demo MFi games in Apple Stores before. Certainly, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see demo units for these controllers at Apple Stores at some point – a full-size gamepad could help sell core gamers on iOS gaming seeing that a full-size, Xbox-style gamepad is available. Jared Nelson called it the best iOS controller you can buy right now in his review. While $79.99 still is more expensive than console gamepads, having it available as an ambassador of what iOS gaming can be to an audience that thinks gaming is all casual games can be a serious boon.
