Xiaomi’s new HyperOS feature allows easy file sharing with Apple devices
Xiaomi last month announced the latest operating system (OS) for its devices called HyperOS 2.0. The update introduces a wide range of new features, including expanded home and lock screen customization options, visual changes, performance improvements, and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. A company official has now previewed another new feature that improves the compatibility of Xiaomi smartphones with Apple devices like the iPhone, allowing the user to easily share files between ecosystems.
HyperConnect feature on Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0
In one after on X (formerly Twitter), Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun showed off HyperOS 2.0’s interconnectivity services with the HyperConnect feature. In a short video, the official performed a file transfer from Xiaomi 15 Pro to iPhone, iPad and Mac via a one-click solution. Once the file is selected, nearby Apple devices will automatically appear in the sharing menu and the file transfer will take just a few seconds.
Xiaomi’s CEO revealed that users can not only share files, photos and other content with Apple devices, but also access native file formats such as Apple Keynote on the Xiaomi 15 series without having to convert them beforehand. Moreover, the Xiaomi 15 Pro’s screen was also mirrored on the MacBook to show off its capabilities. It requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network. However, it is unclear whether either feature requires an initial setup.
Notably, the availability of Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 update is currently limited to China and there is no official information about its global debut.
Lei Jun emphasized the company’s goal to become the ecosystem most compatible with Apple devices and emphasized the “connected and collaborative” future of technology. The inspiration for this feature came from the Xiaomi SU7 electric vehicle (EV) – a project the Chinese smartphone maker undertook after Apple abandoned its smart car project earlier this year. The goal was to develop an EV that is most compatible with Apple products, the CEO added.
