A renewed interface for external monitors
Until now, Connect an iPhone to an external screen -Is by USB-C or Airplay-, it only made it possible to double the content of the mobile in the monitor, a practical but limited function.

The proposal, therefore, It would not be a complete office environmentBut as an extension of the idea of the stage manager adapted to iPhone format and designed to be used in time When the device connects to an external monitor.

Requirements, compatibility and limitations

Currently, there are no clear details on the question of whether the function will require a specific processor or memory, or to know if it will be limited to certain launch devices. Of course, it seems clear that Lightning connector models would have releasedContinuing Apple's trend to reserve new features for its most recent devices.

However, flexibility is likely to be lower compared to the iPad version, mainly to maintain fluidity and stability in more compact equipment.
