You Can Change iPhone Mirroring Window Size in macOS Sequoia Beta 4

With the fourth beta of macOS Sequoia that came out today, Apple added a useful new feature to iPhone Mirroring.

iphone mirroring larger smaller
When you connect your ‌iPhone‌ to your Mac, you can now make some changes to the window size, something that wasn't an option before. You can make the window bigger or smaller, changing the amount of screen space that it takes up on the Mac desktop.

There are only three total sizes, including actual size, which is the size of your ‌iPhone‌'s display, smaller, and larger.

The size options can be accessed by launching the ‌iPhone‌ Mirroring app, connecting to an ‌iPhone‌, and then choosing your size from the View menu. There is no option to drag the window to resize, and you have to use the View options.


iPhone Mirroring is a feature that is designed to allow you to control your ‌iPhone‌ from your Mac, interacting with apps and receiving notifications while your ‌iPhone‌ remains locked and tucked away.

Can you move it from the center of the screen?
… yeah? It’s a windowed app so you can move it all over the screen. It’s been that way since beta 2 when it launched.

I don't understand why we can't arbitrarily (keeping the aspect ratio) resize the window? Also, an option to natively always float on top would be useful too.

What are the possible use cases of this feature? Does it work over the Internet or only on WIFI?

It's sort of dismaying that screen mirroring is getting features like this out of the gate, but iPads running iOS apps are still stuck with iPhone SE screen rendering, when they could easily support Max screens. :\
