Now that iPhones support display and keyboard/mouse over usb-c does anyone think we might see a “desktop mode” coming soon? I know it won’t look like macOS, but maybe an aspect ratio that fits the monitor with a look more like iPad.
My dream is of a desktop mode where the iPhone runs fat binaries with desktop UI elements and mouse support when docked and touch elements when they’re not. The A17 Pro is almost as fast as an M1 and has as much memory as an entry level Macbook Air. Unlike Samsung and their Dex software, Apple has a desktop operating system at the ready that’s good.
What’s the point of all that power? Instagram ain’t it. Making the device more capable would give Apple something to sell performance increases with too. Right now there’s nothing that needs an A17 Pro vs an A16 or A15,
