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.
