Shouldn’t this also apply to visionOS? Also unrelated, but will pointer lock work on iPhones? iPhones support mouse input if the user enables “AssistiveTouch”, but I am unsure if Safari on iPhones recognizes the mouse as touch input or mouse input. Obviously with iPads this is not an issue as mouses are supported outside of accessibility.

(In reply to Jeffrey Blanz from comment #2) > Shouldn’t this also apply to visionOS? This should apply to visionOS, yes. [iOS] is a misnomer here and applies to the other embedded platforms too, including visionOS. > Also unrelated, but will pointer lock work on iPhones? iPhones support mouse > input if the user enables “AssistiveTouch”, but I am unsure if Safari on > iPhones recognizes the mouse as touch input or mouse input. > Obviously with iPads this is not an issue as mouses are supported outside of > accessibility. That's a good point, with AssistiveTouch enabled, the mouse interactions are provided to WebKit as touch inputs, so no, it will not work.
