If you want to fully utilize Apple peripherals, such as Apple Watch and Airpods, you need to have an iPhone or equivalent. However, this may change, as Xiaomi is exploring the possibilities of creating full compatibility between Xiaomi phones and Apple accessories. This according to the leaker Digital Chat Station.

It is not clear whether it would be part of the operating system or through some form of app. However, the information comes after Xiaomi's Chinese launch of the new flagships in the Xiaomi 15 series, where a new feature was the phones' ability to interact with Apple devices. This includes the ability to mirror the phone's screen on a Mac, transfer files between iPhone/Mac/iPad, and display iWork documents.
