The first Turtle Beach Atom controller was specifically made for Android and it was released on November 14, 2022 and then another one for iPhones released on September 11, 2023 and it has not been discontinued.

The Turtle Beach Atom was launched with the MSRP of $99.99 and the iOS version at $79.99 although it can be found on websites like eBay for lower price. The most noteworthy thing about the Turtle Beach Atom is its two magnetic pieces which allow it to be very compact when it is not being used and since both pieces have independent Bluetooth connection, it allows it to be more portable and compatible with most phones.
