Xiaomi says its HyperOS 4, launching for its smartphones, will add deeper integration with Apple iPhones and other Apple devices. The features aim to let Xiaomi users share photos, files, contacts and web pages with iPhones, and to access photo albums stored in Apple and Xiaomi clouds on either platform.

Across the reports, Xiaomi’s announcements also include two-way notification syncing and instant message reply features, intended to work across the two ecosystems without switching devices. Outlets also mention cross-device transfer support using Apple-style AirDrop transfers facilitated through Xiaomi’s Quick Share approach on newer models.

One additional capability highlighted by multiple sources is the ability for Mac and iPad users to control or manage a Xiaomi phone from a larger screen via Mi Connect, with related functions positioned as an extension of the broader integration. The overall focus is on interoperability between iOS and HyperOS 4, including viewing, sharing and communication-related syncing.
