Serafim, a leading global brand in mobile gaming controllers, today announced the launch of the Serafim S3 Universal Mobile Game Controller, now officially Apple MFi certified for seamless compatibility with modern iOS devices alongside broad cross-platform support. Available now for $89.99 on Amazon and $89.99/ £68 via the Serafim website with worldwide shipping, the Serafim S3 is engineered to transform smartphones into a powerful portable gaming platform. With official Apple MFi certification, the controller meets Apple’s strict hardware standards and integrates an authentication chip that ensures reliable compatibility with supported iPhone devices including the iPhone 15 series and beyond.
Designed specifically for mobile gamers seeking console-level control, the Serafim S3 connects directly via USB-C to deliver ultra-low latency performance that is up to 100 times faster than Bluetooth controllers. The direct connection provides smooth and responsive gameplay for competitive and fast-paced titles, helping deliver precise control across RPGs, shooters and action games. Compatibility extends beyond iOS to include Android 10.0 and above, Windows 7 and newer, macOS and PlayStation platforms, making the S3 a versatile controller for multi-device gaming.
One of the standout features of the controller is the dual Hall Effect joysticks and analog triggers that offer drift-free precision and enhanced durability compared to traditional mechanical components. The advanced sensor technology delivers highly accurate input and instant response, providing a competitive advantage in demanding titles such as Call of Duty, Genshin Impact, Fortnite and Roblox.
Comfort has also been prioritised through a modular ergonomic design. The controller includes two pairs of swappable grips for both the left and right sides, providing four interchangeable grip pieces in two different sizes to accommodate both adult and younger players. Weighing just 143 grams, the lightweight construction supports extended gaming sessions while maintaining a comfortable handheld feel. The adjustable design fits smartphones up to 17.9 cm in length and can accommodate phones with cases up to 3 mm thick, allowing players to simply connect and begin playing without removing their protective case.
The Serafim S3 also integrates a range of features designed to support modern mobile gaming lifestyles. Passthrough charging allows devices to remain powered during long play sessions, while a built-in 3.5 mm headphone jack enables immersive audio without relying on wireless solutions. Together, these features allow uninterrupted gameplay whether at home or on the move.
A key component of the ecosystem is the exclusive Serafim Console App, which expands the controller’s functionality beyond traditional gameplay. The app allows users to browse and discover thousands of compatible titles while providing built-in tools for recording gameplay in real time, capturing screenshots, editing clips and sharing content directly to social platforms. Integrated one-click Twitch streaming also enables players to broadcast gameplay live to a global audience with minimal setup.
The app further enables seamless access to major cloud and remote gaming platforms including PS Remote Play, Xbox Game Pass, Steam, GeForce NOW and Amazon Luna, alongside titles available through the App Store and Google Play. Multilingual support within the application ensures accessibility for players around the world. By combining gameplay, recording, editing and streaming in a single platform, the Serafim ecosystem enables gamers to transition easily from playing to content creation.

Serafim has also announced a limited-time collaboration with Bethesda’s acclaimed open world RPG Fallout 76. Players who purchase the Serafim S3 Mobile Game Controller during the promotion will receive a complimentary Fallout 76 game code, enabling immediate access to the expansive post-apocalyptic world. The collaboration highlights the S3’s ability to deliver immersive gaming experiences on mobile devices, allowing players to explore vast game worlds with console-style controls using only a smartphone and controller.
