On November 5, Solid founder Trevor Keith launched Glasshand: dedicated real iPhones and Macs hosted in a data center—not emulators—so agents can see the screen and tap or type via API. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others; agents can install apps, sign into iCloud, add eSIM for SMS codes, run social workflows or build/test in Xcode. Official pricing is $60/mo for an iPhone and $90/mo for a Mac, month to month with cancel anytime and factory wipe on release. It ranked #1 on Product Hunt that day.

On 2026-10-09 developer t4t5 open-sourced omdrop-owl, a radio backend for the Omarchy plugin omdrop that gives two-way AirDrop with an iPhone on the Framework 13's MediaTek MT7925 while Wi-Fi stays connected. It builds on Seemoo Lab's 2019 OWL/OpenDrop reverse engineering rather than a from-scratch effort. README self-tests: ~1.3 MB/s receive, ~490 kB/s send; the AP must be on channel 6/44/149.
