Apple is officially switching the iPhone 15 to USB-C, which opens up a whole new world of chargers and accessories for people that have been using Lightning for the past decade. And one of those accessories could make the upcoming PlayStation Portal seem a little defunct.

Backbone have confirmed the Android version of the Backbone One controller, which features a USB-C plug, will be compatible with the iPhone 15. That means you can pick up a controller to stream content from your PS5, and not have to worry about it becoming obsolete in a few years time.
