Could you build this?
Partial The Windows UI and agent-facing features are buildable, but iPhone mirroring over USB requires working with Apple's device protocols and drivers, which vibe coding won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The Apple Driver mode likely depends on Apple's Windows device support components, and USB Direct mode requires speaking Apple's USB and screen-capture protocols directly, probably via libusb and reverse-engineered documentation. Expect driver-level Windows work, video decoding pipelines, and iOS-version breakage. This takes systems and reverse-engineering expertise and hardware testing across devices.
