TLDR : Use XeOS to transform your iPhone/iPad into a Chromebook style operating system using an external display; Extend your device's screen to an almost desktop class experience on any external screen, monitor, TV, projector or anything that accepts HDMI/USB-C video input. Browse the internet, watch YouTube, streaming, have calls and meetings, navigate files, preview office and other documents, annotate PDF's, work and study with Mouse and Keyboard support using the 'XeOS: External Display Browser'. This is the best way to take advantage of your full external display, at least until Apple will support something like DeX for iPhone or an Android Desktop Mode alternative.
