Dell teased in January that its Mobile Connect software would become much more iPhone-friendly this spring, and it&aposs honoring that promise. The PC maker has updated Mobile Connect (you&aposll need the Microsoft Store and App Store downloads, and officially a 2018 or newer Dell/Alienware PC) to enable both file transfers and screen mirroring for iPhones. The file exchanges are really just limited to photos and videos, but that may be enough if you&aposre just looking to save your iPhone snaps on your XPS laptop.
Screen mirroring, meanwhile, is what you&aposd expect. You can see your iPhone&aposs screen on your PC and control it with your keyboard, mouse or (if you have one) touchscreen. That can be helpful if you want to catch up on an app that doesn&apost have a web equivalent.
This improves parity between Android and iPhones in Mobile Connect. And as Windows Central pointed out, this makes Dell&aposs app a more viable option for iPhone owners than Microsoft&aposs Your Phone. So long as you&aposre content to stick with Dell PCs, you may not need more software to get some basic integration.
