iPhone 15 Pro is a Desktop Computer Now! You Didnt Know? 4K

You can hook your iPhone 15 Pro up to a Monitor through USB C now and basically use it as a desktop computer. iPhone 15 will recognize USB C hubs, it will work with ethernet, you can use a keyboard and mouse and essentially - for all normal computer tasks, you can just dock your phone to your screen and it becomes a computer.

Apple should had an official desktop mode. I refuse to buy again an iPhone until a desktop mode is a thing. You have a nuclear reactor CPU to run a bicycle.

The biggest reason this isn't fleshed out is that it will cannibalize sales of their laptops and desktops.

Samsung have had this with Dex for quite a while now and it works like a desktop computer. It works so well infact, I've used it twice in 5 years or

[seancurry]

I did this for a while and have a few recommendations
1) you can program a button on your mouse to go back to the home screen.
2) better yet, use a launcher app and have it in the Notification Center. Assign a mouse button to open the NC. This way you never have to go to the vertically oriented Home Screen as NC works in portrait and landscape.
3) Apple TV is a great way to hook up to a monitor. Just screen mirror from the iPhone and in a few seconds everything is working wirelessly.

I am testing this exact thing on my iPhone XS Max this week in order to mentally justify buying a new 15 Pro Max. I’m going to be doing everything from my daily journaling to video editing, music production, and everything I do in a browser. If I’ve got to spend money on a new phone, I need the one device to rule them all, which means changing everything I use everything else I use for it. This helped me know I would be okay. CapCut and Canva work fine on the iPhone, as do Pages, Numbers, every website I use, etc. I just need to figure out the external monitor bit and I’m good. Thank you for doing this.

When Apple add stage manager to the iPhone it will be useful as a desktop replacement for some uses

[najminmaliki]

i love apple’s SOC. but i love samsung’s Dex mode. if only they can get married

[selwnk]

Samsung Dex looks more like a desktop computer and not just mirroring your iPhone.

Hey, Huge win for me. I am using. Folding keyboard and my iP 14. Thanks for the info. I have struggled for months trying to figure how I was going to take a computer on the road, and now I ave one that fits in my pocket. Hoo ah.

[FromDesertTown]

Ah yes, the Apple Compromise (TM)
Sure, Apple *could* support a desktop mode for iPhones.
Will they? No. That would eat into their precious profits from Mac and iPad sales.
Before you get excited about "the future" of an all-in-one iPhone, remember how Tim Cook thinks: "I must increase short-term shareholder value. Therefore, I must sell as many overpriced devices and dongles as possible."

Yours is the only video i found on whole YouTube on this topic!!

[joshd]

Wow this is awesome. I keep a dock hub on me for gaming while I’m traveling, but I may do this for the desk work I do for my business

[zodberg]

0:20 No it's not. Multiple processors (or "cores", rather) would be used even if you're editing just a single video. The load will be spread across multiple cores if the software you're using is any good. Also, there are loads of other things going on in the background that are making use of those multiple cores as well.

Hey man, this is absolutely the future it really is. I’ve been using my phone for almost everything. I have a clear screen on my OLED TV with a keyboard and there’s not much I can’t do with my phone iPhone and it’s an iPhone 13 unless somebody requires a website to do register pay bill whatever I’ve been able to use my phone. This is the future. I wish I knew some people that want to get in because that’s where we need to go andI’m interested in changing the world and the way we do things

[peporgan]

You can swap apps by using an iPad/iPhone-designed Bluetooth keyboard which has a "home" key.

[junyongtang]

Just hooked on a monitor. Works well… hopefully they will have a desktop mode soon. This is just a matter of time.

[thoreberlin]

Not filling the whole screen is just a bad experience and noone would consider this an option for an extended period. A proper desktop mode needs to support 2160p60.

I used my iPhone 11 Pro Max as my only computer. It was fine but then I built a i9 gtx 4090 so I can play video games and multi task on two 32” 4k monitors with 144mhz which is basically 8 1024 monitors on a custom 4’x8’ desk. It’s way more comfortable to use than my phone as a PC. Also you can command+tab to change apps instead of swiping. My next setup might be just my phone though. Its close. Maybe by then I’ll just use spatial computetung so I don’t need a mouse or keyboard. But face sweat and breaking out concerns me

[steve_heise]

Have you tried this with the Final Cut Pro app? It’s crazy to think of editing videos with a phone, but it seems totally plausible.

[tutacat]

You can change the screen size, I think in accessibility.
