Xiaomi will unveil a new software update at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) that will reportedly improve connectivity between its own devices and Apple products.


Along with the debut of the Xiaomi 17 series, its HyperOS 3.1 update is said to include a new “iOS Bridge” for a smoother connection between the two platforms. According to GizChinafeatured features include the following:

  • iPhone Call Alerts: Incoming iPhone calls displayed on connected Xiaomi tablets and computers allow users to receive or manage calls without holding the iPhone.
  • Improved AirPods integration: AirPods integrate better with Xiaomi devices, display battery level and offer improved controls, similar to how they work with Apple devices.
  • Direct file sharing between iPhone and Xiaomi: Fast wireless transfer function to share files between iPhones and Xiaomi devices without relying on third-party apps.

If the feature drops in Barcelona during MWC, which runs from March 2 to March 5, it will be another notable win for people who own an iPhone and AirPods, as well as a Xiaomi phone, laptop or tablet. In 2025, Xiaomi held a 16% share of the European smartphone market, according to Omdia.
