Love this thing!
I’ve never really been a mobile gamer before, but since i got my iPhone 15 Pro, I wanted to see what all its capable of and using the backbone makes playing games on my phone so easy. I take it with me everywhere I go, and I got remote play setup for my series x, ps5, and through steam on my gaming pc. Remote play uses about as much battery as watching videos does and with a fully charged battery bank, im ready to game wherever im at for over 12 hours.
