Although I don’t use MacOS, the fact that you can now control an iPhone from a Mac will probably be reverse engineered to allow Linux to do the same at some point. A lot of automation opportunities

"Available on Mac computers with Apple silicon and Intel-based Mac computers with a T2 Security Chip. Requires that your iPhone and Mac are signed in with the same Apple ID using two-factor authentication" https://www.apple.com/macos/macos-sequoia/

Ah that sucks. No wonder it isn’t available in the EU

Been using it in the UK for a while on the beta, works fine

I seriously doubt it. It’s heavily secured with capabilities of their custom hardware.

And it requires pairing and the same Apple account

Bot farms will love that. A lot of websites are using reCAPTCHA and similar to prevent automation, but a lot of apps do not have anything similar. Maybe they do a jailbreak check and that's it.

Nope. It uses device attestation.
