Cloud desktops are going to be mainstream long before phone desktops will be a thing, at least at the rate Apple is moving.

Microsoft appear to be moving this way as well with the recent Windows 365 announcement [1]. I tried self-hosting my own cloud desktop a few years ago on a raspi, and was blown away by how much work I could get done remoting in from my phone or old laptop, not to mention the seamless transition when switching clients.

Yeah, if you perform a migration to a newly bought iPhone, you'll see they have this nailed down.

Just needs to be an instant thing now.

Do iPhone migrations give you access to a secret desktop mode, or did you perhaps misread my comment?
