Any window from your Mac, on your iPhone and iPad

Re:Any window from your Mac, on your iPhone and iPad by greenspam on Friday October 16, 2026 @01:41AM (#50114508)

Is there a reverse app? I want to control my iphone apps from my mac since typing on iphone is painful and the iphone touchscreen keyboard seems to be less accurate and more laggy over time. And iPhone Mirroring feature is laggy for me for some reason.

Maybe the EU should think about implementing less restrictive legal requirements for innovative technologies...

Maybe someone in the US should sue Apple into stop abusing their market share to lock people into their walled garden of "joy". Also, innovation happens outside/before Apple these days.

What’s iPhone mirroring to a Mac got to do with how Apple’s policies around its App Store work? (To be clear taking 30% and locking out competitors is, in my opinion, overreaching, but I fail to see why this should stop iPhone mirroring being a thing in the EU??)

It doesn't, not releasing iPhone mirroring is apple’s malicious compliance with the DMA. They attempted multiple times to turn this into a PR stunt. In this case, it would be a question of making their “Remote Desktop” api available to developers.

TIL. I'm French but live in the UK. Never realised it was a non-EU feature. How come? What's the law that restricts it?

Even barring the other comments here, phone mirroring sucks. This app is 10x more performant lol

I swear it seems to get worse with every new update too. Maddening.
