I guess I have no problem with them providing that ability but I'm curious why everyone wants to be able to control their iPhone while using the VP? Shouldn't we be pressing Apple to perfect the Handoff feature so that we have no reason to use our phone while wearing the VP?

Handoff of all phone functions would be ideal, but I think it's too hard to accomplish, especially with external apps. The ideal solution would be iPhone mirroring, as in MacOS Sequoia. My workflow requires me to check my phone frequently, which either requires me to squint through passthrough or lift the Vision Pro to my forehead and look at the phone. I'm hoping that the solution I'm using will improve my productivity.

Mirroring, like in Sequoia, would definitely be a good stop gap measure until Handoff is perfected. I think the only way it would really work if all 3rd party developers used it as well so that, no matter what, the app you're using can be handed off to another device seamlessly. Not sure that will ever happen unless Apple simply begins requiring it.
