Looking at the video, I can see why this was locked down. I wouldn't hand my mother that kind of complex UI.

What's really missing here is the mode where you plug the iPhone into a monitor, connect keyboard and mouse, and suddenly it's a functional desktop-lite in the same way that a basic iPad now is.

Android has it and I love it!

Are you suggesting that the test for whether they should “allow” a feature is whether your mom can figure it out?

Why?

What's missing is the mode where you plug it in and it's a full desktop running macOS.
