This is why iPhone mirroring is still not available in the EU under macOS Tahoe
Apple’s iPhone mirroring feature was introduced last summer with macOS Sequoia, but is still not available in the European Union. And it looks like that won’t change with macOS Tahoe. During its WWDC 2025 developer conference last week, Apple told the French tech website Numerama that iPhone mirroring will not be available in the European Union for the time being due to ongoing regulatory uncertainty there.
Apple hasn’t commented further, but it may be concerned that the European Commission could ultimately force the company to extend iPhone mirroring to Windows or offer Android mirroring on the Mac.
Furthermore, Apple’s iPhone mirroring on the Mac could lead the European Commission to classify macOS as a “gatekeeper” platform like iOS and iPadOS. This would result in stricter regulations for the platform in the European Union.
iPhone mirroring was introduced last year with macOS Sequoia and allows you to interact with your iPhone in a window on your Mac desktop over a wireless connection. You can use your iPhone apps, receive your iPhone notifications, and much more directly on your Mac or MacBook.
