When it comes to choosing the best iPhone controller for your mobile gaming needs it's difficult to look too far beyond the Backbone One. The original model was already one of our favorite mobile gaming controllers but the updated 2nd-gen model, complete with support for USB-C, made for an even better experience. Now, Backbone has announced that it's also brought that same 2nd-gen upgrade to older iPhones that still use a Lightning connector.
The new controllers dubbed the Backbone One - Lightning (2nd Gen) and Backbone One - PlayStation™ Edition - Lightning (2nd Gen), might sound like they came out of the same marketing meeting that gave us the terribly named "AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with MagSafe Charging Case (USB‑C)" but we'll let Backbone off here. But only because the controllers are so darned good.
