Accessibility mouse access, Bluetooth keyboard, hdmi dongle to monitor - very usable even with 1080p out and fonts/UI too big in pages.

Yes you could do all this with previous iPhones and a hdmi adapter, but usb-c to display port/hdmi should be more common (especially if you have a MacBook).

So give us proper mouse support (not hidden in accessibility) and proper extended monitor support in apps - lead by example with your office suite

I have a feeling it won’t happen for a while. It would have been the feature I’d upgrade from my 14 Pro to, maybe even sell my MacBook and get a NexDock.

The closest thing we have to this right now is Shadow PC (and maybe some other remote PC apps take advantage of the external screen?). Keyboard and mouse are supported on the iPhone version, but last time I tried Shadow PC with my iPhone, the mouse cursor wasn’t locking in the app properly anymore like it does on the iPad version - I think iOS 16 broke this and they never bothered fixing it.
