Apple to Add Proximity Pairing Setup to Mac with macOS 15.4

Key Points:

  • Proximity Pairing on Mac: Evidence from iOS 18.4 code suggests that Apple is working on adding proximity pairing setup to the Mac, similar to the feature available on iPhone and iPad since iOS 11.
  • How It Works: Users will be guided to scan a pairing code on their Mac screen using an iOS device, allowing the transfer of settings such as Apple Account login without manual entry.
  • Current Limitations: Currently, proximity pairing on Mac is only available for devices enrolled in MDM solutions like Apple School Manager, Apple Business Manager, or Apple Business Essentials. Regular users must enter Apple Account data manually or use a Thunderbolt connection to another Mac.
  • Future Availability: The feature will be available to everyone with the macOS 15.4 update, which is expected to be released in April alongside iOS 18.4.
  • Additional Updates: Both updates will expand Apple Intelligence support to more languages and include a new Mail app on the Mac, first introduced with iOS 18.2.
