iPhone Users Can Start Mirroring Their Display Onto Dell PCs

Dell is going to let iPhone owners mirror their screen onto Dell-branded devices with the help of the updated Mobile Connect app.

The announcement was made at CES 2020. Aside from allowing users to mirroring their phones, the Mobile Connect app will also let iPhone users transfer files from their phones to Dell PC by dragging the files they want, such as photos or videos. Actually, this feature was introduced at CES 2018 but it was first rolled out to Android users.

To use the “mirroring feature,” iPhone owners need to install an app in advance to enable the feature, besides having Dell computers running Windows 10, including Dell Vostro, Dell Inspiron, Dell XPS, and Dell’s Alienware gaming laptops. Latitude is the only model in Dell’s lineup that isn’t mentioned in the roll-out list. Thanks to the new screen mirroring feature, not only do users see iPhone’s installed apps on the PC’s monitor but they’re also able to interact with them through touch-capable displays or using mouse and keyboard.

It’s evident that Apple users now have a chance to integrate their fruitful experiences into non-Apple devices. In fact, they always hesitate to buy a non-Apple computer or laptop due to the challenge of having their iPhones well-connected to the device’s system. Dell appears to address this issue and attract more people to purchase Dell products.

According to Bloomberg, around 150 million text messages and calls were delivered via Dell Mobile Connect, and Apple devices reportedly occupied half of the number since the debut of the screen mirroring feature.
