Somehow impressive that they’re able to ship Universal Control (think Synergy only built-in) without M1 or U1. I wonder how do devices know where they are positioned relative to each other in physical space.

The device does not know where the other device is exactly although it knows it is clode because of Bluetooth. It will assume you want to move to the device you interacted with most recently when you move your mouse pointer past the edge of your Mac. From that moment on it will assume the device is on that side.

Rearranging displays to match their physical placement is incredibly annoying. I'm so happy Apple finally decided to innovate here.

U1 doesn’t directly know direction between iPhone and airtags either. You have to move your phone around for it to deduce the direction. At least, that’s how it works right now.
