Leaked new Xbox controller spotted without the 'Chatpad port'

Leaked images and updated Microsoft store copy suggest the new Xbox controller and Elite Series 3 are dropping the proprietary chatpad expansion port.

The old accessory connection appears to be replaced by the 3.5mm jack and app-based input options.

The change signals a shift in Xbox controller design toward core features and a leaner accessory ecosystem, moving away from a long-running legacy connection used since Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
