Mobile gaming is great, but some games just play better with an actual controller. Here's how you can connect a PS5 controller to your iPhone for better gaming.

Mobile-gaming has taken a huge leap forward in recent years. With hardware accelerated ray tracing, more stable frame rates offered through Game Mode in iOS 18 and an impressive OLED display, gaming on the iPhone can look mighty pretty. The best iPhone games rival their console counterparts in a lot of cases, and there are plenty of free mobile games to dive into as well. As long as you have a good smartphone for gaming, you'll have a blast.

How to connect using a USB-C cableConnecting with a cable is pretty simple. You can use the USB-C cable that came with the controller. However if you’ve got an iPhone model older than the iPhone 15, you’ll need to use a USB-C to Lightning Cable or use an adapter. Simply plug one end into your phone and the other into your controller, and press the PS button. Assuming you boot up a compatible game, that’s all you need to do.

Step 2: Next make sure the player indicator is turned off on your controller by pressing the PlayStation button until it turns off. If it’s plugged in, unplug it.
