PSA: iPhone Mirroring not coming to EU with iOS 18.4

Apple has released the RC (Release Candidate) build of iOS 18.4, which introduces several new features and improvements. Notably, Apple Intelligence is now available in non-English languages and for users in the European Union (EU). However, iPhone Mirroring remains unavailable in most EU countries due to regulatory concerns.

Key Points:

  • iPhone Mirroring: This feature allows users to wirelessly view and control their iPhone screen from a Mac. It remains disabled in the EU due to 'regulatory uncertainties' stemming from the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
  • Apple Intelligence: Now available in non-English languages and for EU users, despite other regulatory concerns.
  • Release Timeline: iOS 18.4 is set to be officially released to the public in early April.
  • Other Features: The update includes new emoji, improvements to Control Center, and a new API for sports apps in CarPlay.

Regulatory Concerns:

Apple cites the DMA's 'interoperability requirements' as a potential risk to product integrity and user safety, which is why iPhone Mirroring remains unavailable in the EU. SharePlay Screen Sharing is also not available in the region due to similar concerns.
