The truth is that what just happened is historic. vivo has just presented new mobile phones, which, a priori, does not affect the Apple ecosystem. But the new operating system, OriginOS 5, has something special: an artificial intelligence assistant called Blue Heart Little V. This AI enables things like, for example, “Circle to Search,” which recognizes elements on the screen by simply drawing a circle around said element – something Samsung has been boasting about for a few months now. Dynamic Island also appears, called here Atomic Island. It functions as a smart hub that organizes functions and user interactions, like Atom Notes.
But the craziest part of this AI lies in the Little V application. Why? Because this application will be available on Windows, Mac and in an online version, “for a smooth transition between mobile and desktop devices”. What does that mean? That you can use any Vivo phone compatible with OriginOS 5 on a Mac. An integration that was only limited to the iPhone. In the presentation video, specifically after the first two hours, you can see how the brand representative says “I am pleased to announce that the Vivo s200 Pro Mini is now part of the Apple family
How did they achieve such integration?
Miracast protocols date back to 2012, and features like remote use from one PC into another aren’t new. To mirror the screen of an iPhone to a Windows PC, there are applications like iMyFone MirrorTo, ApowerMirror or LetsView. It’s even relatively simple to use image cloning between a tablet and an iPad. but this time We are talking about total and parallel integration between Apple devices and Vivo devices.
The transcript of the video reads:
Now you too can use the phone easily and don’t have to wait to open and use the cross ecosystem. This is not a problem at all: with vivo’s office suite and universal documentation support, can effortlessly connect to iPhone, iPad and MacBook. Photos, videos, recordings and documents on the Pro Mini are easily readable with your Mac. If you’re typing on the s200 Pro Mini, open your Mac and continue without a problem. Capture great videos on the Pro Mini and they’ll be ready to watch on your Mac. Have you created a Keynote presentation on Mac? You can also view it instantly on the S200. »
Although this function is not yet available in any territory, it seems that this integration will be possible thanks to a connectivity protocol analogous to iPhone Mirroring, since it is not a simple screen mirroring, but rather a ‘total integration with editing software.
living grows, but not in USA
And why would we want something like that? Because they are great tools to use. And in China, vivo and Apple are two leading brands. It competes. Currently, in USA, sales of vivo are included with the rest of the manufacturers (Realme and OPPO) of BBK Electronics. In USA they only occupy 6% of the total quota. In China, only Vivo governs with almost 20% of the quotas.
Imitate and imitate until you have an identity
Of course, there is a but. Although these terminals do not skimp on the camera – only the Vivo
In recent weeks, this is one of the common questions on the networks, especially among Apple users: why do Chinese operating systems look so much like iOS 18? Everyone still uses iPhone to buy themselves and brag about being better. But everyone continues to copy its features and especially its aesthetics. The king of this love is OPPO with its new ColorOS
- One-touch AI voice summary.
- Document management using AI, being able to edit formats simply by telling them to (what they call “Flexible Reading”).
- AI notes and artificial intelligence help with writing
- Creative writing for composition and editing functions.
- Quickly summarize long documents in seconds.
- Advanced search on screen or in any file.
In short, the same dynamics and the same functions of Apple Intelligence. And this reminds us that Apple Intelligence is not yet available in USA and, in fact, privacy issues have been detected: if you use an iPhone to work, your data is exposed on a second screen.
In conclusion, it would be ironic if a vivo user could mirror their Mac before an iPhone user. But it does suggest a trend that we’ve actually been striving for for years: total intercommunication. These tools enable workflow and agility that, until very recently, were limited to private ecosystems. Now all you need is macOS on iPad and we will be happy.
