I used to have the old version lightning connection, and decided to upgrade since i also upgraded to the Iphone 15 and have an android cellphone too. I dont play to much mobile games I usually play, when I do, cod mobile i play with fingers.
However, the backbone has really nice features (of course you have to pay a membership yearly) mine was around 45 per year. Some of the pay features are: Play on any screen (PC, Mac and iPads); capture edit & share 1080p video at 60fps with cloud storage; In-app voice and text chat with friends; live-stream directly to twitch... I believe for xbox cloud streaming you do need the membership for backbone.
I dont use it so much, but if you mainly play on mobile, want to start streaming or prefer controller over finger then i do recommend a lot. Besides it helps when waiting on airports.
I would recommend this to a friend

While there are more console-like controllers out there, and for cheaper, the backbone remained my selection because of its portability and the backbone app. Also, I cannot forget the ease of use, which was a huge factor in me keeping this over something else like the Gamesir.

Absolutely love the backbone. Gives my kids something to do on long trips. And saves you the money on purchasing a whole new hand held system. Also I tend to play it myself at work lol. Oh and let me add it connects to a tablet for a bigger screen.

Man if you like playing game on your phone , Than you gotta get the backbone this controller that fit all smartphone is a game changer not only can you play all Google game it also play online Xbox and PlayStation game depending on if your and Android or iPhone owner which I find pretty cool cause if I'm online deep up in a match CFD or Battlefront but I need to be some where say with the GF or at some appointment or something now I grab my phone and backbone and with few click of a button I'm right back in the fight and you slapin a wired head gear and back to tell everyone how bad I am And if you're worried about your battery, fear not use your charging cable for your phone and you're back in the game. Bud, so I give two thumbs up on this reason for four Stars and. Five it is because with everything there always small about fee but other than that spot on. Keep it up backbone. Oh, and also does updates that you might need be cool

This turned my iPhone 15 pro max into a gaming machine beast. If you are a gamer and have a good phone make sure you get this asap you will not regret it.
Buy it asap! It has me playing my backlog of lots of games I wouldn’t normally play on my ps5 but sitting in bed it’s nice. It has its own software etc. very well made.

Great to use for remote play, easy to use and accessible, only issue I have is that the joysticks are a little small and sensitive. But it is still a great tool to have to play video games while laying down in bed.

It's a nice little device. Works great with my iPhone 15plus, was able to remote play my PS5 while traveling. Only a couple minor issues keeping it from 5 stars, one is the ergonomics of it prevents much more than a half hour of playtime before your hands start getting really cramped and the 3.5mm headphone jack is a bit too small of a hole and didn't work with my audiophile style cans. I really like the service, the app collates all your game services and games into one launcher which is nice. Lastly, it worked great with the Delta app for all things retro gaming.

Very convenient gaming hardware. This controller will save this gaming industry. That’s from someone that haven’t played any games console for the past 7 years.

When I purchased my iPhone 15 pro max, I wanted something to jump into all the new games coming to it (resident evil) and it’s better than I expected! I love it!
