iPhone Mirroring Remains Unavailable in EU: Regulatory Pressures Persist for Apple
Apple’s iPhone Mirroring feature, first introduced with macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, continues to be unavailable in the European Union as macOS Tahoe approaches release. This strategic holdout, confirmed at WWDC 2025 and reported by French tech outlet Numerama, underscores Apple’s ongoing efforts to navigate the shifting regulatory landscape in Europe.
Feature Overview: Integration With Limits
iPhone Mirroring has been lauded outside the EU for enabling users to wirelessly project and control their iPhone screen directly from a Mac—extending Apple’s signature continuity between devices. According to comprehensive breakdowns from AppleInsider forums, the workflow allows notifications, apps, and control via mouse or keyboard, all while maintaining iPhone security with device lock. This deep integration is limited only by regional boundaries, as EU-based users currently remain blocked from accessing the feature.
