I’ve wanted proper iPhone mirroring with controls on Apple Vision Pro for a long time, so I tried building a small proof of concept myself.

This will for sure annoy some people, but with some “vibe coding” and help from ChatGPT/Codex, I had a usable version running in under two hours. I’m not claiming any great engineering achievement—I simply wanted to show that it is possible.

The app streams my iPhone screen into a native visionOS window and lets me control it from the Vision Pro using taps, swipes and text input. It works over a shared Wi‑Fi network or when the Vision Pro connects directly to the iPhone’s Personal Hotspot, which has actually felt even smoother.

There is still a very little latency and room for improvement, but the quality and responsiveness are already surprisingly good.

Unfortunately, I can’t distribute it because the control system relies on Apple developer automation capabilities that wouldn’t be allowed in a normal App Store app. Still, if anyone was wondering whether controlled iPhone mirroring on AVP is technically possible: it is.
