A question I always ask is why we can't control our phones via desktop computers yet. It's 2024; this should be possible and mainstream without half-baked solutions like Airdroid or unacceptable workarounds like rooting your iPhone.
I sit in front of a full-size keyboard and mouse literally all day, yet when I need to do something on my phone I'm forced to physically pick it up and use its horrible tiny little keyboard to achieve something I could achieve in 10% of the time on a PC.

- ajdude 3y agoMy question is, why can't we use our phones as a fully dockable PC? For years, all I've wanted was a phone with computer specs that I can plug into a dock and use with a fully functional desktop operating system. Usually what ends up happening is you just have the same clumsy phone but on a giant monitor. The 15 promax is more than capable of doing this, but iOS is the limitation from a usability standpoint. Can't even split the screen like you can on an iPad.
