The iPad Pro is like that and their extended desktop is called Apple Studio Display. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102286 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102286
- chx 3y agoIt does that. Every iPhone with USB C has DisplayPort alternate mode, it was not particularly hard to do because all these Apple Axx SoC have a DisplayPort output just in case it lands in an Apple TV later.
- nashashmi 3y agoGood to know. I tried hooking on an old(er) iPad with USB-C to a docking station. It mirrored the screen to another monitor but did not give me an extended desktop. After researching, I learned this was called Apple Studio Display, a feature that comes in iPads released the following year of the iPad I had. I hope your assumption is correct and they added this, including the mouse and keyboard capability.
