Although days are long gone when Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference took the tech world by storm, tidbits and developments surrounding it keep taking place now and then.
Given that, Apple has released new beta versions for iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia to let them lay their hands on it and dig out the best of it.
Reiterating what the iPhone maker pledged during the developer conference, Fred Sainz, a company official confirmed that Apple was mulling to allow iPhone users to mirror their devices on their Mac, adding that new SharePlay screen-sharing features are also in the pipeline for the iOS 18 beta.

iPhone mirroring on macOS Sequoia
iPhone mirroring, the new feature which Fred Sainz reflected on, enables interaction with an iPhone from a Mac, and a few of the most noteworthy and common controls it extends is that users can browse apps and drag and drop files from a Mac to an iPhone.
Not only that, the Mac even displays notifications of the iPhone it is mirroring, and upon being clicked, it opens them in a mirrored interface for the iPhone connected.
To make the remote control of iPhones secure and free from any apprehension of being entirely, non-consensually controlled, the iPhone remains locked throughout the remote control. The only exception is when StandBy mode is active while mirroring, which keeps the iPhone screen's content from the Mac while the user is indulging in browsing or multitasking on an iPhone from a Mac.
Lastly, the new SharePlay features, once widely rolled out, would let users take full control or draw on another person’s screen.
