Mobile developers need better ways to automate UI tests on real devices without jailbreaking. Build a service that exposes iPhone controls via USB for scripting touch, installs, and screenshots. Agencies and enterprise teams would pay for reliable device testing. Launch with basic tap/swipe recording before adding complex workflows. The main risk is Apple restricting USB access in future iOS updates.
