The Nintendo DS didn't need any peripherals, in contrast to smartphones, so this comparison seems misplaced.

  Not really. Apple could design a pretty clean peripheral if they wanted to and it probably would be about as thick as the nds was. The iPad keyboard is a good model of how that might look, secured on a magnetic attachment perhaps able to be folded into different orientations. Like I said, little imagination however has taken place in this sector. Apple is content to take their 30% cut off the whale gamblers. The iOS game market is certainly massive enough where that zero overhead rent seeking on the part of Apple is quite lucrative, apparently in 2022 almost $50 billion were spent on ios games alone. $15 billion to Apple thanks to their pizzo.
