Anthropic's Claude Code Uses Open-Source Tool to Control Physical iPhone Without Jailbreak

Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding assistant, has demonstrated the ability to control a physical iPhone in real-time through an open-source tool called phone-harness, ordering a Waymo ride with a single natural language prompt. The capability—shared by researcher Shawn Pana via the Roundtable account—highlights a growing frontier in AI agent autonomy: direct control of consumer devices without requiring jailbreaks, special installations, or OS-level modifications.
