$7 ESP32 Board Lets AI Control Any iPhone App
Original: A $7 ESP32 Board Lets an AI Tap Through Any iPhone App by Posing as an AirPlay Screen and a USB Mouse https:// lockergno
A $7 ESP32 microcontroller board can let an AI agent tap and swipe through any iPhone app without a computer or jailbreak. The trick works by posing as both an AirPlay receiver and a USB mouse, so iOS treats the board as a display and input device. Commenters are highlighting it as a cheap, open-source way to run AI agents on phones.
Why now: The low cost and no-jailbreak approach to giving AI agents hands-on control of an iPhone is a novel hack catching attention in the AI and hardware communities.
