iPhone as "front end" for mac mini"

[lowonthe456]

Hey gang. I was wondering about how the iPhone would interact with other macs....

My thought surrounds a notion about the way I use my mac...most of what i do is surf the web and email/IM...but I do have a few peripheral activities that would call for say a mac mini.

So my question is how would an iPhone interact with a mac mini? If I was to sort of use the mini as a hidden server/dvd burning station and my iPhone (or touch even) as my "laptop" so to speak

does this make sense?

any thoughts or input are greatly appreciated!!

Similar to what i was thinking here

That was the sort of thing i was thinking of here https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/637887/ whilst i was on about using the iphone to put stuff up onto the tv it would be a perfect compliment to it.
