- Apple launched iPhone Mirroring on macOS Sequoia, allowing Mac users to interact with their iPhone, but it's unavailable in the EU.
- Apple explained at WWDC 25 that EU regulations under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) are the reason for blocking iPhone Mirroring in the region.
- Apple fears the EU may force changes to macOS, such as requiring Android phone mirroring, leading to uncertainty and potential business risks.
- Due to regulatory concerns, Apple also won’t bring iPhone Live Activities and the Phone app to the EU in macOS 26 Tahoe.
- Apple argues excessive regulation hampers innovation, and while DMA benefits EU users, missing features like iPhone Mirroring are a drawback.
