Apple Explains Why iPhone Mirroring Remains Unavailable in the EU on macOS Tahoe

Wednesday June 18, 2025 6:53 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol

Apple's year-old iPhone Mirroring feature is still unavailable in the European Union, and it appears that will remain the case on macOS Tahoe.

During its WWDC 2025 developer conference last week, Apple told French tech website Numerama that iPhone Mirroring will remain unavailable in the European Union for now due to continued regulatory uncertainty there.

Apple did not elaborate, but it might be worried about the European Commission eventually forcing it to expand iPhone Mirroring to Windows, or requiring it to offer Android Mirroring on the Mac, under the Digital Markets Act.

Introduced on macOS Sequoia last year, iPhone Mirroring lets you interact with your iPhone in a window on your Mac's desktop, over a wireless connection. You can use your iPhone apps, receive your iPhone notifications, and more, right on your Mac.

Lol. EU shooting themselves in the foot. This is EXACTLY what happens if you over regulate.

This works less than half the time for me so the EU isn't really missing much. Maybe by the time they get it working reliably, it'll be available in the EU.

Never had an issue and I use it daily.

From a peasant perspective, I think it'd be pretty cool if macOS supported Android mirroring, and iOS supported mirroring to Windows.
