macOS 27: What’s New for iPhone Mirroring
The biggest change for iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 is the ability to resize the iPhone Mirroring window.
As my colleague Marcus reported last week, you can now resize the iPhone Mirroring window with any app that’s compatible with iOS 27. Right now, that means it only works with Apple’s native iPhone apps. However, when developers start rolling out the iOS 27 update later this year, scaling support will expand rapidly.
Previously, iPhone Mirroring in macOS only supported three predefined sizes: smaller, actual size, and larger. Changes in macOS 27 Golden Gate and iOS 27 Clearly indicating that Apple is preparing for a foldable iPhone Ultra, It is expected to be launched at the end of this year.
iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 and iOS 27 also has several other improvements:
- Access to the control center
- Support DRM video
Previously, iPhone Mirroring did not support access to Control Center at all. In macOS 27, you can access it with the CMD+4 keyboard shortcut or with the “View” menu in your Mac’s menu bar.
DRM video support means you can watch protected videos using iPhone Mirroring on your Mac. Previously, all DRM-protected videos would only display a black screen when iPhone Mirroring was enabled.
macOS 27 also has a new app icon for iPhone Mirroring, just like it does for other stock Apple apps.
