I use iPhone Mirroring every day to quickly access my iPhone directly from my Mac, and it's even better this year. iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate were released last month, bringing three key updates to iPhone Mirroring. Here's everything new.
The biggest change is the ability to resize the iPhone Mirroring window. As my colleague Marcus reported last week, you can now adjust the size of the iPhone Mirroring window with any iOS 27-compatible apps. Right now, that means it only works for Apple's native iPhone apps. However, once developers start rolling out iOS 27 updates later this year, support for resizing will expand rapidly. Previously, iPhone Mirroring on macOS only supported three preset sizes: smaller, actual size, and larger. The change clearly indicates Apple is prepping for the foldable iPhone Ultra, expected to launch later this year.
iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 and iOS 27 also brings several other updates. Previously, iPhone Mirroring did not support accessing 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 is also new. It means you can watch protected videos using iPhone Mirroring on your Mac. Previously, all DRM-protected videos would simply show a black screen when iPhone Mirroring was enabled. macOS 27 also includes a new app icon for iPhone Mirroring, just like many other stock Apple apps.
How often do you use iPhone Mirroring on your Mac? Have you tried these changes in macOS 27? Let us know in the comments.
