macOS Sequoia: New iPhone Mirroring Feature Enhances Mac Experience

Exciting Features of macOS Sequoia

Apple officially released macOS Sequoia on Monday, bringing features like the ability to wirelessly mirror your iPhone on your Mac, window tiling tools, and more. There are Apple Intelligence features on the way, too, but they aren’t available yet.

iPhone Mirroring: A Game Changer

iPhone mirroring is arguably the coolest new feature in macOS Sequoia. In his testing, my colleague David Pierce suggested it might change how you use your phone. When you open the phone mirroring app, your iPhone pops up, and you can navigate around it using your mouse and type things with your keyboard. Your iPhone’s notifications can also show up on your Mac. Later this year, you’ll be able to drag and drop items between your iPhone and your Mac.

Enhanced Window Management

I’m excited to experiment with the new window tiling features. I’ve relied on BetterSnapTool for years to quickly arrange my windows, but it could be nice to have these new window tiling tools available without a separate app download.

Additional Features Coming to macOS Sequoia

macOS Sequoia is also getting some features that are coming to Apple’s other platforms, including the new Passwords app and upgrades to iMessage. Furthermore, Apple Intelligence will support your writing or create images, although these initial tools won’t launch until sometime this fall. Note that on Macs, Apple Intelligence will only work on computers with M1 chips or newer.
