So, Sony is shooting itself in its foot by shafting the Xperia phone line in a worse way?
The remote play still does not work over cellular last time I tried.

Yeah my wireless XBox controller for PC was detected and worked instantly with the SteamLink app. Works quite nicely too. The only thing is the lag, which for me is quite high when streaming from my PC, not sure why.
I really like that Apple is opening up iOS for gaming, especially given Apple's line of products. Lots of interesting use cases with iPhones and iPads (iPad Pro gaming!). It's a game changer... no pun intended.
If Sony rolls out PS Now for iOS and put more PS4 games via streaming, they will make lots of money from the monthly subscription
So, in light of this, we need a good phone mount for the DualShock - any recommendations?
It is now
I cannot wait for this. I have fiber in my home so speed is not an issue for me, and man this will make traveling so much more fun now.
PS4 Remote Play already supports the DS4, it has ever since it came to iOS. What's new is the DS4 (and for some reason the Xbone) controller basically becoming MFi controllers
At the moment the Xbox or DS4 controller connected only has MFi spec - so the touchpad, PS, and share buttons do not work. Apple may or may not fix this, they seem more concerned about letting you use the controller for tvOS and iOS games so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I think they just meant Xbox controllers that support Bluetooth - the early versions did not.
From my experience, there is substantial lag in the Remote Play app that severely limits the playability of rapid action games like first-person shooters and sport games.

It's not just limited to the X-Box One "S" controller, it also works with the non-S version. I have a X-Box One controller that I use with Windows 10 and it works as well.
I think you totally got the concept wrong. Thats a whole other animal, all Sony is doing is streaming. To actually have an PS NOW app run natively on iOS/Android would mean porting games and having the hardware and testing the hardware (meaning the phones) to run these said games. That would be hundreds of millions of dollars in programming labor and testing and royalties and legal obstacles (assuming they do it right and don't cut corners)
That has nothing to do with this so far. PS Remote just plays over the local network (at least for now).[doublepost=1559747120][/doublepost]
The 2018 ipad pro GPU is as powerful as an xbox one S. Just imagine this years chip!The chipset on the Apple TV will eventually be so powerful you can run full-fledged PS4 and Xbox One games on it locally.
I am pretty sure PSNow can be just a streaming thing without any local files. PS Now allows you to play on a Pc with games that have never been ported to PC and have no local files. It could definetly be done for iOS (and then Mac with catalyst). I am salivating just thinking about it.I think you totally got the concept wrong.

And since apple gets a cut of all app transactions, probably not.
Do L3 & R3 work? I'll have to test them. They were JUST added to the MFi spec and there was only one wired controller than supports them currently, so curious to know if they're enabled on the DS4.
That's not really true. It only works over a WiFi network, regardless of whether it's local or not. Just not over cellular. You can be connected to a wifi network halfway across the globe, and it will still work and you can still play your PS4 at home. I play from a hotel 2-3 nights a week just fine over the internet - I just need to be connected to the hotel wifi to do it, not the cellular network.

A 12.9 iPad Pro = a portable PlayStation???

Are the controller supported for native iOS games?
it just dawned on me that in the future I don't even think we would buy expensive gaming hardware for PC or even consoles.
Either Sony/Microsoft/Steam will host powerful servers with high speed ISP and stream to whatever device or the gaming developers will (EA/Activision). ...
