Anyone Else Having Input Lag Issues with Controllers on iPhone?

I’ve been trying to game on my iPhone recently using a Bluetooth controller, but I’ve noticed some serious input lag in certain games. It’s not consistent—sometimes it’s fine, and other times it makes the game nearly unplayable.

I’ve tested it with a few different games on iPhone, so I’m pretty sure it’s not just the app. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it an iOS issue, a Bluetooth problem, or something else entirely?

Also, I heard about the Scarlet iOS app store and was wondering if it has any 3rd party gaming-related tools or apps that could help reduce input lag or improve the overall gaming experience. If anyone’s used it, let me know how it works for you.

Since no one’s chimed in yet, I did some more digging into the input lag issue. It seems like Bluetooth can sometimes cause delays, especially if there’s interference from other devices or networks nearby. I’ve tried disconnecting other Bluetooth accessories and even toggling Airplane Mode (while keeping Wi-Fi on) to reduce interference, and it seemed to help a bit in some games.

As for the Scarlet iOS app store, I haven’t found a lot of detailed feedback yet, but it seems promising for accessing third-party tools. If anyone’s used it for gaming enhancements, I’d love to hear your experiences or suggestions for apps that might help with this input lag problem!
