If you are running Minecraft on iOS you are in for a treat. Mojang is rolling out an update for the Minecraft Bedrock Edition that brings the game to version 1.19.10. While this is a cross-platform update, the biggest change comes on Apple's platform.
Specifically, for iOS and iPadOS, the update brings Bluetooth mouse and keyboard support to Minecraft. Users on Apple's iPad iOS variant will probably get more mileage from this update, but it will also work for iPhone too.
So, you could send your iPhone screen to a big screen and play Minecraft with mouse and keyboard. The ability to stream your iPhone on a big screen is available on all models from the iPhone X and newer.
Moving away from iOS, the 1.19.10 update is a much more standard release across platforms. So, if you're on Android, web, Windows, or console, you get the normal collection of bug fixes and enhancements.

Tip of the day: To prevent attackers from capturing your password, Secure Sign-in asks the user to perform a physical action that activates the sign-in screen. In some cases, this is a dedicated “Windows Security” button, but the most common case in Windows is the Ctrl+Alt Del hotkey. In our tutorial, we show you how to activate this feature.
