This is big. Makes me want to do the beta, even though I swore never again :D. Kudos to the persons that pushed this through. You should'nt need to use two devices when at home. Plenty of cases were that is unnecessary.
 
I just tried Revolut, Monzo & Barclays (UK), and didn't get prompted for FaceID, but went straight to passcode.
Thanks, I just tried it again. The Journal app worked this time - it had me authenticate with my Mac credentials - which wasn't popping up before, restarting the mirror session seemed to fix this for me.

My banking app (M&T Bank) doesn't really try, but I can right click and 'autofill' and authenticate with my Mac credentials to get to my password list.
 
Wonder if that will work with an US AppleID in Europe as Sideloading does not work with an US AppleID either even though I am in the EU ✊🏼
I found this article quite interesting on how an Aussie tricked their iPhone into thinking it's in the EU. Quite elaborate and not sustainable as a solution though.

Edit: corrected hyperlink.
 
id like to know if iphone mirroring works when you bring your mac into vision pro.

Does anyone know if iphone mirroring works when you bring your mac into vision pro and start the iphone mirroring Mac?
 
Haha. It works well. It’s a little buggy though but overall, it looks great.
 
What would be the main purpose of this feature, when one can already see and respond to messages, notifications, and email from the Mac? What am I missing?
I have a work MacBook and don't want my Apple ID connected to it, nor WhatsApp installed/authenticated on it. If work allows iPhone mirroring and block (via MDM) the drag/drop and copy/paste, I'll be happy.

Yet another useless feature that we somehow miraculously survived without until now. Is it just me, or are most of the features in the last five years nothing more than solutions in search of problems?

If it were up to me, companies would be barred from creating any new features until previous bugs are eliminated.

There's a lot of that, so the trepidation is not surprising. This feature though, looks promising, bucking a trend?

But who knows. I do want to try this immediately, just to see if it's doable
 
Really looking forward to this feature. Alas, being in the EU means having to wait longer

Mandatory disclaimer: I'm all for sensible government regulations of big tech, but the DMA is just painfully hamfisted and causes more problems than it solves.
 
Has anyone found a workaround for the EU?
I did some poking around, as far as I can tell you need an US Apple ID to get past the “this feature is not available in this region” error message

I haven’t been able to make it work because it asks me to enable in settings but then doesn’t show the setting to enable it

iOS 18 is introducing a universal way to do app locking. Until apps switch to that, they have had to implement this locking themselves, and it's possible that Mirroring doesn't support the one-off implementation?
app locking is not the same as signin security. I would not want any of my financial apps to rely on app locking for signin requirements.
 
Is the iPhone mirroring working for 🇬🇧 UK folk?? We aren’t part of the EU. Just curious to see if it works for us?

I recall hearing from another user that it can’t. Probably too much airplaying on top of airplaying. I imagine the function is coming to Vision Pro natively eventually.

That might be the first reasonable comment I see on the topic. I was also really looking forward to this feature and Apple Intelligence, but it seems like we need to wait. I hope there will be a reasonable solution. I think neither the EU, nor Apple look good in this mess.
 
It appears to me that notifications from the iPhone are independent of actually having the iPhone Mirroring app open or connected. I am still getting my iPhone notifications on my Mac even after closing the mirroring app. The notification settings for iPhone notifications are under Notifications in settings on the Mac as well. Anyone else experiencing this behavior?

Just tried this and it doesn’t work. They’ll need to bring something else to make this work. Have not tried it with third party mirroring apps, though.
