Apple's stores have a new range of third party gadgets for the holidays. 9to5Mac reports that Apple has added a 24 item holiday collection, including an unusual game controller

The GAMR Active Game Controller costs $199.95 and is a roll up, pressure sensitive floor pad with nine zones mapped to the D-pad and A, B, X and Y buttons. It connects over Bluetooth to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac and Vision Pro, with 8 to 10 hours of battery according to Apple, and works only with compatible games

Other additions include the ShiftCam ProRig Filmmaker Kit at $169.95, a frame for iPhone 17 and 18 Pro models, as well as the SnapPocket Light 2 MagSafe ring light at $39.95 and the SnapTravel Kit Pro 2 at $159.95.

A floor pad controller is a fun way to get families moving, and it brings back memories of dance mats from years ago. The filmmaking kits show how seriously people now use iPhones for video. A power bank with a built in cable solves the classic problem of forgetting the lead
