Xiaomi introduced many interconnection functions between Surge OS 3 and Apple at yesterday’s press conference, including the interconnection between Xiaomi phones and iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

It is worth noting that this time Xiaomi not only opened up the Apple ecosystem, but also covered the wider Windows system.

Xiaomi has just announced that the Mi Internet Service Windows General Version (Beta) has started internal testing today. Models that have upgraded to the Surge OS 3 Beta version can try it out.

According to the official introduction, this service allows Xiaomi phones to connect with Windows computers to achieve file transfer, and Xiaomi phones can be directly operated on the computer.
