Come closer and see… See into the trees…
It’s a big day for Mac owners (or at least those with compatible Macs, and we’ll come back to that) as macOS 15 Sequoia is set to arrive later today as a free upgrade.
Apple informed us that the release date for macOS 15 was September 16 back at its iPhone 16 (‘Glowtime’) launch event, and here we are. So, if you’re chomping at the bit with anticipation, let’s indulge in a quick recap of the highlights that Sequoia has to offer before you install the shiny new operating system.Mirror, mirror, on the desktop…
The cornerstone feature introduction with macOS Sequoia (at least away from Apple Intelligence – and we’ll return to that subject, too) is iPhone Mirroring. Now, obviously, this will only appeal to those invested enough in the Apple ecosystem to have both a Mac and an iPhone, but it is a seriously cool feature for those folks.
iPhone Mirroring allows you to use your smartphone on your Mac desktop, in a compact (resizable) window. This means you can use iPhone apps on the macOS 15 desktop, reply to texts, interact with iPhone notifications, and so forth – there’s even the ability to seamlessly drag and drop files directly between devices (though that still hasn’t been seen in testing yet, it’s coming).
