AI controls iPhone via ESP32 microcontroller and screen mirroring

A developer named Henry Yuan has created a system called "ESP32 iPhone Agent" that allows an AI to control an iPhone without requiring any software installation on the device itself. The setup involves mirroring the iPhone's screen to a computer, which then sends commands to a microcontroller board (XIAO ESP32S3) connected to the iPhone. This board acts as a mouse and keyboard, utilizing the iPhone's AssistiveTouch feature to move a pointer and perform taps. The AI model on the computer analyzes the screen and determines actions, with Yuan's system incorporating unique methods to correct pointer drift and verify screen changes after each operation. AI

IMPACT Enables AI control of mobile devices without on-device software, potentially impacting automation and accessibility.
