The Backbone One<\/a> has become a favorite mobile gaming controller for iPhone, Android and PlayStation<\/a> over the last few years. Now, Backbone has announced that its beloved $100 controller (yes, even the Android-specific version!) will be compatible with the upcoming iPhone 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n The good news is that playing with an iPhone 15 doesn't require buying a new controller. Anyone with a Backbone USB-C product<\/a> needs to have the company's app downloaded to receive the automatic update adding its "patent-pending universal technology." This should then make all USB-C Backbone One controllers \u2014 including the PlayStation Edition<\/a> \u2014 compatible with Android devices and the iPhone 15. All new USB-C Backbone One controllers purchased should also work across the devices.<\/p>\n The announcement comes on the same day as Apple's iPhone 15 launch, which has been largely anticipated (and seemingly confirmed by Bloomberg<\/em>'s Mark Gurman<\/a>) to have USB-C compatibility \u2014 finally<\/em> replacing the longstanding lightning port. This shift is the critical factor in allowing this Backbone One crossover to occur, but it isn't a change Apple necessarily wanted. The European Union is mandating that any new phones, portable speakers, tablets and many related devices sold in the region must have a USB-C charging port by the end of 2024<\/a>. The bloc's rationale is that the regulation will reduce e-waste, though lightning port users might first have to buy a new charger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Backbone One has become a favorite mobile gaming controller for iPhone, Android and PlayStation over the last few years.
