Could you build this?
No Mirroring an iPhone's AirPlay stream and controlling it over USB depends on undocumented Apple protocols and low-level input injection, which need specialized systems and reverse-engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version would implement an AirPlay mirroring receiver (building on projects like UxPlay) and talk to iOS over usbmux and the accessibility or HID-based control channels used by existing tools. The hard parts are reverse-engineered protocols that Apple can change with any update, plus low-latency video decoding and input injection on Windows. This takes deep protocol and driver-level expertise, and the result is fragile.
