If you’re on the hunt for one of the top Prime Day Apple deals and aspire to convert your iPhone into the ultimate portable gaming machine, let me introduce you to the second-generation Backbone One, now available for just $69.99 on Amazon.

In our recent review of the Backbone One, we praised the controller for its excellent lightweight design, which now accommodates cases and includes USB-C passthrough. The controller offers an incredibly enjoyable and user-friendly experience, effectively turning your iPhone into a sophisticated Nintendo Switch. It comes equipped with adjustable brackets to fit any device size seamlessly.

Though the Backbone One isn't without flaws, it earned an impressive 4.5 stars in our review. It excels across virtually any type of game, thanks to its smart Xbox stick design, D-pad, and triggers. If you prefer a different aesthetic, there’s even a white PlayStation version available. Originally priced at $99, the Backbone One is a phenomenal bargain at $69.99.

The Backbone One is perfect for those who want to game on their iPhone without the inconvenience of carrying a separate controller. While it might be slightly less intuitive than a full-sized controller, it's significantly more convenient. The Backbone One offers native support for nearly any iPhone game, including controller-supported Apple Arcade titles and Xbox Cloud Gaming titles. Additionally, there's a dedicated Backbone One app for capturing screenshots and recordings and managing all your controller-powered games in one place.

This is genuinely one of my favorite iPhone accessories ever and an incredible deal this Prime Day.
