GAMESIR X2S TYPE C: TURN YOUR iPHONE INTO A SMALL STEAM DECK
Macworld
|July 2024
If you're serious about getting a better handle on your iPhone gaming, consider a gamepad, an external device that provides physical controls-actual buttons, joysticks, direction pads, and more.
Look at one like the GameSir X2s Type C controller, which works with the iPhone 15 series of phones.
The Type C in the name refers to its USB-C connector, which plugs into the iPhone 15 (it also works with Android phones). The X2s cradles the iPhone; just pull the X2s apart and place the iPhone in. The cradle is rubberized, so there is minimal risk of scratching the phone. It also gently squeezes the phone for a secure fit. The USB-C connector is adjustable, so regardless of how thick or thin the phone is, the fit remains. I tested it with an iPhone 15 Pro Max and a regular iPhone 15, and there were no problems at all.
