The controller doesn't appear to have much impact on battery life, aside from the standard power-sucking you'd normally expect from playing games on your iPhone. However, the A/B and X/Y buttons are reversed from the Switch interface, which I've found can cause some confusion simply because they look so similar. The result resembles a Switch, with your iPhone in the center flanked by the two controller halves. The central mechanism slides apart and then springs tightly back into place, so you simply dock your phone into the lightning port and then let the controller's grips lock around it. This is where your iPhone locks in-think of it as a Nintendo Switch with the two Joy-Cons connected. The Backbone One itself resembles a standard game controller, with a noticeable gap in the center. Backbone, a controller built from the ground up specifically for the iPhone, is a solution that matches Apple's famous simplicity, and a welcome (if pricey) accessory for iPhone owners. The experience as a whole is still less than ideal. While Xbox and PlayStation controllers are ubiquitous among gamers, some docks for them can feel unwieldy, and propping your phone up against a book isn't great. Apple's addition of controller support on its family of iOS mobile devices was something of a concession-touch controls just aren't right for everything-but it has been a boon to the library by enabling games that need a controller to comfortably play.
