Apple Introduces macOS Sequoia with iPhone mirroring

Keynotes

• At WWDC 2024, Apple unveiled macOS 15 Sequoia, featuring iPhone Mirroring, Continuity updates, and automatic window tiling.
• The update also includes a cross-platform Passwords app, making password management easier across all Apple devices.

macOS Sequoia features

iPhone Mirroring is added by Continuity on the Mac with the new macOS Sequoia. Even if it’s not nearby, you can view the contents of your iPhone from your Mac. From the Mac, you may once more interface with and utilize the iPhone wirelessly. It is essentially the benefit of utilizing the keyboard and trackpad on your Mac with your iPhone.

On the Mac, you’ll receive audio passthrough in addition to phone notifications. At last, a phone UI without a touchscreen! Even in StandBy mode, your iPhone remains locked when utilizing mirroring.

Now, iPhone notifications show up on the Mac. Clicking on the notification will launch your virtual iPhone via iPhone Mirroring. During all of this, the actual iPhone is still locked.

A brand-new, cross-platform program called Passwords is being added to the Keychain, which will allow it to store a wide range of account credentials, including shared passwords, passkeys, verification codes, and Wi-Fi passwords. It will work with iOS, iPad, Mac, Windows, and visionOS.

Additionally, Apple upgraded Safari with a number of new features, such as highlights—which employ machine learning to identify relevant content on the page—and Reader mode updates, which include tables of contents and summaries—both of which are probably the result of machine learning. For on-page video content, it further offers Viewer mode.

Developer betas are currently available, and public betas covering all of the topics we have covered thus far will be released in July. Later this year, you will receive the complete editions.
