macOS Sequoia is out now with iPhone mirroring but no Apple Intelligence — yet

Apple officially released macOS Sequoia on Monday, bringing features like the ability to wirelessly mirror your iPhone on your Mac, window tiling tools, and more. There are Apple Intelligence features on the way, too, but they aren’t available yet.

iPhone mirroring is arguably the coolest new feature in macOS Sequoia, and in his testing, my colleague David Pierce said it might change how you use your phone. When you open the phone mirroring app, your iPhone pops up, and you can navigate around it using your mouse and type things with your keyboard. Your iPhone’s notifications can also show up on your Mac. And later this year, you’ll be able to drag and drop things between your iPhone and your Mac.

I’m excited to mess around with the window tiling features, too. I’ve relied on BetterSnapTool for years to quickly arrange my windows, but it could be nice to have these new window tiling tools available without a separate app download.

macOS Sequoia is also getting some features that are coming to Apple’s other platforms, including the new Passwords app and upgrades to iMessage. And Apple Intelligence will be able to help with your writing or create images, but like with iOS, the initial Apple Intelligence tools won’t launch until sometime this fall. (On Macs, Apple Intelligence will only work on computers with M1 chips or newer.)
