This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

I love this! Wish iPhone would have this feature.

If so, I could do all my work with just my iPhone.

I have a 15, and will hold out on a new iPhone for at least 4-5 years. I may go longer if there is not a desktop mode by then though.

iPhones will never have it for the same reason that iPads will never have proper window management and MacBooks will never have touchscreens.

This comment gave me flashbacks to when I tried to use a cheap external touchscreen monitor plugged into an old macbook pro with a singular usb-c cable. It “worked” but the ux was a disaster
