Hackaday reports a project in which an AI is used to control an iPhone through an ESP32 microcontroller. Details of how the setup works, who built it and what it can actually do on the phone are not given beyond the headline, so the scope of the hack remains unclear. Makers in the hardware community are sharing the item, with the ESP32's low cost and versatility making it a popular choice for unconventional iPhone automation experiments.
Why now: Hardware hobbyists find AI-driven control of a locked-down device like the iPhone via a cheap ESP32 novel and technically interesting.
