Hey @@Laro-2414, simply because the iPhone 15 range went from Lightning to USB-C. The fitment was awful though and soon after I got this they released a USB-C for iPhone with a few minor upgrades which made a world of difference. I ended up returning this one to get the Gen 2...I also swapped to the black (non playstation) version as games like Madden referenced XBOX buttons on screen.

I love mine, been using it all the time. Definitely recommend if you wanna game on the go

Can you play offline games with this? Or do you always need to be connected to a network for whichever cloud gaming service you choose

There is a usb-c option for the Backbone (I think that will work with the iPhone 15)

That cat 8 cable is incredibly unnecessary unless you are a data center. Cat 5e can do 2.5gbps if the cable is under 25 meters.

I was able to at least test with the controls on the phone instead of the backbone for my quick test.

Will it work while your phone is in an otterboc?

Backbone is so worth it for gaming on the go . I personally buy my games from steam (Aslong as the Envidia engine runs it ) . Not really the best for ps4/ps5 because I’d have to be connected to the same WiFi my system is in. But other wise it’s amazing for running my steam games and Xbox games due to Xbox ultimate .
