Exactly two weeks ago the new operating system was presented at the inaugural WWDC24 conference and, after finishing this event, the company officially launched the first beta of iOS 18 for all compatible models.

• iPhone Mirroring– This amazing feature not only allows you to display iPhone screen on Mac but also control it using trackpad and keyboard. Plus, you can open iPhone apps on your Mac, receive notifications, and interact with them.

Unfortunately, Apple has confirmed the European Union’s Digital Markets Act does not allow these features to be available on European iPhones, nor does Apple Intelligence.
