Don’t Buy BackBone for iPhone Until you Watch this!!!

The BackBone gaming controller is great for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I purchased the Backbone Controller myself and I am not sponsored by them. If you like this video, you’ll definitely like my full video on the Backbone One. Also, If you like this video please subscribe. It helps my channel.

How do you put in the inserts?

[@digitalmaus]

They are held in with magnets. A little tough to get out. I will provide more info about this when I post a video about gaming with Apple products. Thanks

[@1OCgamer83]

Thanks for answering the question!!

[@godisking3649]

Is this the version ucan use on an iPhone and android 🤔 😳 cos I wanna get this for my daughter she as an iPhone but bought to switch back to android and I'm getting me 1 too but for the android, I am not an iPhone user but it would be nice to kno tht ucan buy one of these and they'd fit either phone. 😊

[@digitalmaus]

I use an iPhone so I can’t give you any first hand info on android. But Backbone says it works with Android.

[@Ashw1115]

Backbone is amazing. I bought it for my little sister for Christmas so she doesn’t have to be in my room all day while I’m gone at work when she wants to play the PS5. She loves it

[@digitalmaus]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@MaxMustermann0]

So she’s mirroring the ps5 now?

[@Pub2k4]

To be fair, prior to September 2023, there was no usb-c iPhone. So, in February, when this video was published, both devices had been on the market less than 6 months.

[@Ploof822]

Btw it's not only for iPhone if other android users were wondering. If it has USB-C it works with any USB-C phone. Also for older gen iPhones there is lightning port models available too

[@efranckor_27]

Lol I really didn't knew that

[@Tony-sk9hv]

That was one of the things I disliked about the backbone when I got the 14 pro max. If I didn’t have to remove my case I would have used it more.

[@FaderSkate]

I preferred my razr kishi controller as it had r3 and r4 buttons I could assign for shifting gears during racing games but I upgraded to I phone 15 pro max and only back bone had support for the phone at the time

[@dikkado]

I got v1 bundled with my new phone back then. If you already have v1, just take out the rubber that holding the phone. It's basically the same controller, they just didn't think most people use cases for their phone, just stupid design mistake.

[@albertmilarda1428]

Mine as well didnt realize that before! Hope u can make a detail video of those two differences 😅

[@digitalmaus]

Thank you. Check out my Apple gaming video. I go into a bit more about it there. Appreciate you watching!

I did the same thing. I had to return my Backbone to get the one with the removable magnetic inserts.

Well thank you for the tip

[@bgmrandy846]

What about for games I’m not playing on the ps5? I play the NES version of super Mario 3 on my iPhone on an emulator would it work for that too

[@Onyxdragon07]

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and i want to buy it so bad, but i would need to buy the Lightning version. Does anyone know if that version includes the case adapter rubbers, or only the new 15 Model includes it?

[@jonasuranus]

the lightning model also has a gen 2 that you can take off the inserts

Instead of getting a £100 backbone I got a ps5 controller clamp that holds my phone because it’s more comfortable and better and much cheaper

[@riston7264]

it’s much bigger in size, you can’t take the controller everywhere

@@Reebals613 alright? So what does this have to do with the original comment?

[@xonlytyrek3601]

I’ll pass, that literally defeats the purpose of the entire mobile experience in my opinion, it’s just a controller, where’s the BB actually connects to your phone turning it into a handheld.

[@Reebals613]

[@KingdomHeart12]

I LOVE my backbone for my 15 pro max. I have the new v2 PlayStation model, but I still prefer to play with it without using my phone case anyways because it looks and feels way cooler that way. And I play with it in bed anyways. I’d probably consider using a case with it if I was playing on the go outside or something, but that will like, never happen

[@digitalmaus]

I’m the opposite Kingdom. I don’t like taking my case off. but I’m paranoid so…Thanks for watching!!!

[@xonlytyrek3601]

Same here, I have the 15 pro max and the backbone with out a doubt is the best mobile controller imo I even added Nintendo switch thumb sticks on for more comfortability, I’ve been doing endless gaming on this with emulators etc, this thing it’s truly amazing

[@SolOtis]

Damn I didn’t even research enough but I got the right one then.

[@iamcornholio5587]

backbone is the best phone controller gotta get another 1

[@MrCristhian77]

Good call

[@sisoivelinov2382]

thank you very much really for iphone and android is two controllers is different.

[@CWallyMan]

There only works with cases that are super thin

[@theSCclub]

Will the 2nd gen let me play with an iPhone 14 Pro case? I think I have the first gen. Not even sure. It did come with one bumper adapter but can’t play with a case

[@digitalmaus]

The iPhone 14 Pro uses a lightning port so it won’t work with this BackBone Controller. Backbone does sell a controller that uses a lightning connection but I do not believe it has the removable inserts necessary to support a case.

[@JoseCruz-rz9bl]

So basically I have to buy a new one if I wanted to upgrade to the iOS 15

[@itsAphelion.]

No lol the new backbone supports iPhone 15 because iPhone 15 is USB c like android. Now new iPhone and android can share models. f you have a iPhone with lightning you can continue using your lighting backbone

[@desro745]

I got scammed I bought the version 1 which had outdated firmware and I needed to borrow someone’s android to update it

[@SevenPilot]

I have the OG backbone and I wish I could use it with a case 😭

[@realBrainiac2.0]

you can. you just have to get a spare case and cut it. if you remove the rubber pads. i now have a case with thebbackbone and one without. works fantastic

[@dikkado]

Just peel off the rubber, it's very easy. Save you some money.

[@micka2b]

Is there only the playstation one ? Or if it is written "iphone , android and usb-c" it's okay for my s23 ultra with case

[@digitalmaus]

No they have a more "XBoxish" controller with ABXY labeled buttons as well. I have a longer video coming out tomorrow that will talk more about the Backbone One and comparing it with another controller I have. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelbachler2716]

Some cases not all!!!

[@Deffsector]

Shouldn’t be gaming with the case on can dissipate heat better with it off

[@3rddude]

I have iPhone 12 Pro Max so USB C won’t work on mine 😂 mine only work with lightning

[@CrocoDylianVT]

I'd buy it, if it wasn't 100 bucks, also because of it having the PS buttons it will mismatch with a ton of games that only show Xbox prompts on screen, and yeah it is true that Xbox and PlayStation buttons are the same, but I want my controller to match what I see on screen

[@Flamingarrrow]

dose it work on roblox?

[@marty3553]

Which one for a case

[@digitalmaus]

the box should say iPhone , android, and usb-c

[@justjevon0593]

I have a 13 can I still use it?

[@digitalmaus]

Backbone has a lighting port version of their controller

[@AngeezyGoneKrazy]

So I can get the old one for 25 dollars cheaper compared to the new one they’re both compatible with iPhone?

[@digitalmaus]

Depends on what is important to you. For me, it was important to get one that I can use with my phone case on. YMMV

[@AngeezyGoneKrazy]

I’m trying to be cheap because I have the lightning one and I’m trying to justify getting another one

[@dikkado]

Just take out the rubber on v1, it's very easy to peel off and don't look ugly. Save you $25 because it's basically just the same controller. You can glue it back with double tape if you want, but why bother tho.
