iOS 18 along with MacOS 15 has a new fearture called iPhone Mirroring. MacOS comes with app that will bring up a view of your phone (in a similar style to the Xcode device simulator) and will smoothly stream the screen (must be using something faster than the current single screen shot API) and also allows you to control the device by sending "finger presses" when you use the mouse on the mirror. This second part would be extremely useful to be able to do programatically as it would allow the same flexibility in automation that can be done on Android with ADB.
I'm assuming Apple wont publish it as a public API, or provide any tool other than the iPhone Mirroring app to be able to use it. I am hopeful someone would be able to reverse engineer it and if pymobiledevice3 could have the ability to send finger pokes to the phone that would be incredibly useful.
