With this practical controller, you can easily transform your iPhone 15 into a Nintendo Switch-style mobile games console via USB-C. All you have to do is clip the iPhone into the holder and you can play your favourite compatible games in Apple Arcade and from the App Store. Incidentally, the controller is also compatible with Xbox, Playstation and PCs if you stream games directly to your iPhone.
The Backbone One is the ideal companion for gamers who want to gamble on the go. The iPhone version we tested is light, has a high-quality appearance and is quickly attached and connected to the smartphone. The controller sits well in the hand and reacts quickly and precisely to inputs. Charging and jack connections are a nice addition. The app also offers many setting options.
