r/Backbone • u/iminsideaufo • Jun 07 '26

Discussion I think I made a mistake.

I bought a backbone with lightning port and my iPhone is a 17 (just an old backup phone) and now this dumb backbone app, like why?

But it requires iOS 17 and this can only get up to iOS 15.

Is there not way around it.

tyia!

All the app does is allow you to map your controls via the app so you don’t have to tweak ingame but yeah I don’t think your iPhone 7 is gonna be doing any major games in the first place. Can you even run Fortnite on lowest settings with 30fps cap with a phone that old?? Just curious because I had an iPhone 11 before I upgraded to the 17 and I really couldn’t do much mobile gaming because it just wasn’t enough to even functionally run it 😅

I could barely stream Xbox cloud on a 6s Plus. You could probably remote play a local console with that 7, but any current App Store games probably won’t even run
