The question remains whether similar free functionality is available on iOS?
Vysor "can" connect both Android & iOS devices to Windows, Mac, Linux PCs.
I tested another "free" solution to control iOS mirroring on Windows which
has a convenient but only potential advantage that the same desktop works
for both iOS & Android on all common consumer desktop platforms.

That advantage of Vysor is that it works with everything you've got; but the disadvantage is that it requires classic Apple clusterfuckware, which sucks.

However, another potential useful advantage of Vysor is that it works
remotely across the net - which is a boon to helping iOS users from afar.

It worked flawlessly with Android - which worked perfectly out of the box. <

But the documentation explains Apple software on Windows is clusterfuckware, where, in my situation, the Apple Mobile Device Driver Support errored out.

Even as my iPad connects _without_ Apple clusterfuckware just fine on Win10.

Nonetheless, since the iKooks know absolutely nothing about this product, it behooves me to again helpfully inform those on the iOS newsgroups it exists.

Vysor apparently works with all phones and all desktops:

The free version can do these two things which we've been discussing:
a. Mirror and Control iOS/Android
b. Screenshots
Their payware version has more functionality (which we had in scrcpy):

Vysor Dongle (for bluetooth control)

"Due to limitations in Windows bluetooth, Vysor needs an off the shelf USB
dongle to control iOS devices. The Vysor Dongle can also be used on Mac
and Linux for improved bluetooth performance, but it is not required."
