Backbone updates USB-C Android controllers to work with iPhone 15

Backbone has announced that its mobile gaming controllers with USB-C, which currently supports Android phones, is getting an update to support both Android and iPhone 15. This follows today’s Apple event, which revealed that the new phone will have a USB-C port as opposed to its proprietary Lightning port.

The new compatibility rolls out today as an update to the Backbone app for any controllers that have USB-C, including the Backbone One for Android and the Backbone Android PlayStation Edition. This means that all USB-C Backbones are universally compatible with USB-C phones once users install the update.
