Are you installing this? Have you already installed this? What can you share? What's got you excited?
Jerod Santo (Sep 18 2024 at 18:14):I'm going to install it... right after you test it for me :wink:
Lars Ellingsen (Sep 18 2024 at 19:02):I installed it yesterday on my personal machine - but when I scanned the feature list I didn't see anything I'd necessarily notice, lol
James Thurley (Sep 18 2024 at 20:46):iPhone mirroring is quite interesting. Interested to see if I use it in practice. Haven’t gotten around to upgrading yet though.. maybe at the weekend.
Maroš Kučera (Sep 18 2024 at 22:04):I'm going to wait a long time after what happened with iPadOS :sweat_smile:
I was thankfully late to the party, so it didn't even verify for me. I like to wait at least a bit with macOS, leave some room for mantainers of various stuff to get everything fixed. On the other hand, iPhone mirroring :star_struck::mirror:
Lars Ellingsen (Sep 18 2024 at 22:20):Maybe I shouldn't have updated then :joy: I don't have an iPhone, so... that's unfortunately not useful for me. Might switch on my next upgrade, though...
Andrew Patton (Sep 20 2024 at 19:49):i am planning to upgrade this weekend. will report back with my experiences. 
Jerod Santo (Sep 21 2024 at 13:11):Welp I went ahead and upgraded yesterday. So far, so good. iPhone mirroring is wild...

This feature disabled in EU according to multiple sources. :sad:
Maroš Kučera (Sep 22 2024 at 06:09):It's the one thing I'm really looking forward :oh_no:
I was hopeful when they started to talk about it as a continuity feature (which makes sense) instead of an AI feature, but if this is true, they truly must be out for blood for all the regulatory "troubles" over here :sweat_smile:
Or am I missing some crucial detail on why this should be an AI feature?
Andrew Patton (Sep 23 2024 at 05:55):no, definitely not an AI feature. i can’t figure out the justification for it. the most complete justification i saw was:
Apple's iPhone Mirroring, for example, appears to use Device Attestation. This is complex, but essentially means both Mac and iPhone know precisely what device is on both sides of a connection, and that the user is who they say that they are based on biometrics or passwords. DMA requirements would require Apple to make this work with Android, which is where Apple's security concerns come in.
so ostensibly, Apple thinks that the DMA would require them to make mirroring also with with android. (source)
James Thurley (Sep 24 2024 at 11:31):iPhone mirroring is.... interesting. Not sure how much I'll use it. Probably the most useful thing is being able to type with a proper keyboard into apps which you only have on your phone?
One other quite nice thing is that you start getting iPhone app notifications showing in macOS, say from a camera feed detecting motion, and clicking on the notification on the Mac will bring up the iPhone Mirroring app and act as if you clicked on the notification on your phone (i.e. launch the appropriate app and take you to the clip).
Dustin (Sep 25 2024 at 16:42):A pleasant surprise which I didn't see mentioned anywhere is if you use the PWA-ish feature introduced last year, extensions are now enable-able inside the PWA.

My idea on this is to leave my phone in another room when I work from home, and then use mirroring if I need to check some app I only have on my phone
Dalton Alexandre (Sep 26 2024 at 06:22):Learning more native controls for mirroring has been new. When using iOS simulator for development scrolling is touch-drag based where phone mirroring is mouse scroll. Takes some getting used too
