I use iPhone Mirroring every day to quickly access my iPhone directly from my Mac, and this year it’s even better. iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate were released last month, bringing three key updates to iPhone Mirroring. Here everything is new.

macOS 27: What’s New for iPhone Mirroring
The biggest change for iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 is the ability to resize the iPhone Mirroring window.
As my colleague Marcus reported last week, you can now adjust the size of your iPhone’s mirror window with any iOS 27-compatible app. At the moment, that means it only works with Apple’s native iPhone apps. However, once developers start rolling out iOS 27 updates later this year, scaling support will expand rapidly.
Previously, iPhone Mirroring on macOS only supported three preset sizes: smallest, actual size, and largest. The change in macOS 27 Golden Gate and iOS 27 clearly indicates that Apple is preparing for the foldable iPhone Ultra, launch is expected later this year.
iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 and iOS 27 also has many other updates:
- Access to Control Center
- DRM video support
Previously, iPhone Mirroring did not support accessing Control Center at all. In macOS 27, you can access it with the keyboard shortcut CMD+4 or with the “View” menu in your Mac’s menu bar.
DRM video support allows you to watch protected videos using iPhone Mirroring on your Mac. Previously, all DRM protected videos simply showed a black screen when iPhone mirroring was enabled.
macOS 27 also has a new app icon for iPhone Mirroring, just like many other stock Apple apps.
How often do you use iPhone Mirroring on your Mac? Have you tried these changes in macOS 27? Let us know in the comments.
