How can I control an iPhone from my PC?

My PC: Windows 10
My iPhone: iPhone 6 (iOS 9)

I want to be able to remotely controlling my iPhone from my PC without jailbreak. Is it possible? If yes, then how?

Other than using itunes to install apps and updates you cannot do much of anything with an iphone. Apple has them locked down outside of jailbreaking them.

I guess Tim Cock just wants to make money and not care about his customers.

It been that way forever. Apple is for people who don't care about technology and just like flashy things. They have made a ton of money too.

Meh, each has it's pros and cons.
Despite having a ~38% market share, just 3% of malware is targeted at iPhones. On the other hand, 97% of malware is directed at Android's ~53% market share.

"On average, the experts discovered almost 4,900 new Android malware files every day in the 1st quarter
of 2015"

Allowing such control over your phone can open it to attacks.

TBO, I understand why people want to control their computer with a phone. Use a portable device to control a fixed one. Like a fancy remote.
But why would you want to control your phone with your computer?

Really?
I thought they both had tech innovations.

iPhone was made from glass and metal while Samsung were still making plastic children toys.
1st app store
1st 'retina' display. The 2010 iPhone 4 was 326ppi, which the 2011 galaxy was still 218ppi.
1st voice assistant
1st 64bit cpu
1st fingerprint sensor that worked in any orientation without having to drag your finger across it
1st '3d touch' display. Screen can tell how hard you press.

Hardly for people who don't care about tech.
