So close, yet so far. Ahead of WWDC 2024, I had hoped Apple would let you mirror your iPhone inside of the Vision Pro, just like how you can use your Mac on an enormous virtual display. Instead, we got iPhone Mirroring on macOS Sequoia. As the name implies, it will let you see everything on your iPhone from the comfort of your Mac.
But, I wondered, what if you mirrored a Mac that was mirroring an iPhone in the Vision Pro? It seems like the ideal workaround in theory, one that would solve the headset’s annoying inability to play nicely with your iPhone. But, unfortunately, it won’t work. We’ve heard from knowledgeable sources that Apple’s hardware only supports one of its Continuity mirroring features at the time. So if you’re sending your Mac’s screen to the Vision Pro, you won’t be able to mirror your iPhone at the same time.
