A Linux user reports that GSConnect, the GNOME integration for KDE Connect, now works with an iPhone, calling it a miracle, though Bluetooth performance with the KaiT2en device remains poor. The overall experience is described as a mixed bag. The news is notable because Apple's restrictions have long made connecting iPhones to Linux desktops difficult, so any working open-source solution draws attention.
Why now: Working open-source connectivity between iPhones and Linux desktops is rare, so progress is noteworthy to the free software community.
