The iPhone 15 has officially changed the proprietary Lightning connector that Apple has used since 2012 to the common USB Type-C, and accessory manufacturers are actively responding to this change. Notably, Backbone confirmed this week that its current line of USB Type-C game controllers will work with the new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.

Backbone One is a hugely popular controller that turns a smartphone into a portable gaming console. In the past, the Backbone One was available in two different models; one has the Lighting port and the other has a USB Type-C port. With the iPhone 15 switching to USB Type-C, Backbone has confirmed that the USB Type-C version of the Backbone One is fully compatible with the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro series.

Owners of the USB Type-C version of the Backbone One will be able to receive a software update for the controller that adds iPhone 15 support via the Backbone Android app. New buyers of the USB Type-C-enabled Backbone One will receive full support for Android smartphones and iPhone 15 out of the box.

Backbone One by manufacturer “It delivers a high-quality gaming experience for all your favorite controller-enabled games, including Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft, Genshin Impact, and most Apple Arcade games.” Additionally, Backbone One is compatible with streaming apps from Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. Popular cloud gaming services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming, NVIDIA GeForce NOW and Amazon Luna are also supported by the Backbone One controller.

The Backbone One USB Type-C costs $100 and is available in two versions: a “standard” configuration and a version designed specifically for PlayStation fans in the style of the console’s controllers. Besides Backbone, other manufacturers such as Rotor Riot, Razer Kishi V2, and GameSir X3 have also confirmed the compatibility of their USB Type-C game controllers with the iPhone 15 series.
