The iPhone Mirroring was the most interesting announcement (and I don't think was leaked). I suspect it will only be useful for emergencies as latency will be terrible, though.

> as latency will be terrible, though Based on what? AirPlay mirroring is great today, and this is that with data in the other direction. Current Wifi is perfectly capable of bidirectional voice and video. Adding touch/key events is incremental.

"Terrible" might be an exaggeration, but even in my personal uncongested network the feed can get randomly choppy from wireless AirPlay mirroring.

I never thought I’d see the day macOS would get tiling window management. Wonder how it will interact with Stage Manager if at all.

I use BetterSnapTool for ages and love it. Wondering if this will be good enough to replace it natively.

The iPhone mirroring feature and the related feature of being able to control the screen on another person’s device is going to be quite helpful, personally speaking. But the screen control feature can also be a threat that scammers could convince someone to allow and then defraud them. I’ll be looking forward to try this out and see how (well) it works.

Should have called it Sherlock as they seem to be Sherlocking a lot of apps. For instance I only use Fantastical because I can see my reminders with my events, I assume many people will also switch from a paid password manager to this as well.

A cool tidbit shown in one of the screenshots is that Apple Pay will be unlocked to other browsers. It is not clear whether they will need to be running WebKit or not for this to work, but looking forward to support in Orion.

It's great for those who want it, but I really hope it can be turned off just as with most of their recent UI additions, such as Stage Manager.

I know it’s simple but I am so pleased with this. Now if they fixed the mouse acceleration curve and the scaling issue for monitors, I’d be at peace.

What's the scaling issue?

Yeah it looks like this will usurp Magnet for me, which I've used for years now.

Rectangle and Magnet devs not happy

I hoping my mom can share their phone with their laptop and i can sreenshare into her laptop to troubleshoot her phone.

Also I will use this often to approve okta 2factor requests.
