Xiaomi and Apple Devices Can Now Cross Sync Photos, Messages and More

Xiaomi is enhancing the compatibility of its devices with Apple products through HyperOS 4, a software upgrade that enables seamless integration between Xiaomi phones and iPhones, iPads, and Macs. With HyperOS 4, Xiaomi users can now share photos, files, contacts, and web pages directly with iPhones. The new feature set also enables two-way sync, allowing users to view cloud photo albums across both Xiaomi phones and iPhones, as well as receive real-time notification syncing and instant message replies without switching between devices.

Additionally, Xiaomi phones can be controlled from a Mac or iPad using the Mi Connect Desktop app, providing a larger screen interface for managing Xiaomi hardware. These cross-device interaction features will be rolled out more widely starting on October 15, as part of HyperOS 4, which was initially released alongside the Xiaomi 18 Pro Max.

Users must utilize Xiaomi’s connectivity app and a shared Xiaomi account to access these cross-platform capabilities.

  • "Delete This" messages may never arrive if app crashes or network glitches.
  • Software systems rely on "tell them" approach for resource release.
  • Regular reconciliation prevents lingering errors from unconfirmed completions.

Why I Only Show One Weather Metric in the Chrome Toolbar

One of the weirdly difficult decisions I ran into while building SkyFeels was deciding what the toolbar icon should show. Temperature was obvious. Then I added AQI. Then UV.

  • Initially considered showing all three metrics (temperature, AQI, UV) simultaneously in toolbar
  • Realized small toolbar size and limited user attention made multi-metric display ineffective
  • Decided to show only one metric at a time, with others accessible upon clicking icon
