iPhone Mirroring Not Working for Anyone Else?

I am having a similar issue. My MacBook's IOS is Sequoia 15.0. My iPhone 13Pro is on IOS 18.0. The iPhone Mirroring app is on my MacBook. The devices have been restarted. But I always get stuck on this screen, and the setup goes no further.

Is this a widespread problem, or are Hoobers80 and I just unlucky?

I have been trying to use the iPhone Mirroring feature since upgrading to IOS 18. It wont work on iPad or iMac. Both of which have the latest software. All three devices meet the standards listed by Apple. When i try to use it, it tell me to unlock my phone, the Lock Screen shows up on my phone. I enter the unlock code, then the iMac or iPad show it trying to connect for about 30 seconds. It then shows a message stating it was unable to find my device. 2 options offered. Try again or try later. My brothers are also having the same issue. Neither can get the function to work. So obviously Apple has some work to do!!

Check the system requirements. Not all iMacs that can run Sequoia can do iPhone Mirroring. Must have Apple Silicon or a T2 Security Chip (see below).

• MacBook Pro introduced in 2018 through 2020, excluding MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020)
• MacBook Air introduced in 2018 through 2020, excluding MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
• iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) and iMac Pro
• Mac mini (2018)
• Mac Pro introduced in 2019

Here is a link to the requirements

but with little useful detail of the poster's equipment.

Are all the sysregs for iPhone mirroring in this article checked? It seems a lot::

iPhone Mirroring: Use your iPhone from your Mac - Apple Support

It shows both the Mac and the phone must be on the same Apple ID and that VPNs and third-party security software are a problem.

Spence,

My MacBook Pro has an Apple Silicon M2 Pro chip. So, that isn't the issue.

I have an iMac desktop and a iPhone 13 pro. Both the Wifi and Bluetooth are on and I am unable to mirror them. As with you, when I "Try Again" it does nothing. I have also turned both devises off and on and still no luck. Not sure what to do but I guess I really don't need it. Just would be nice to have.

What version of iMac do you have?

Today the iPhone update to 18.0.1 was installed. And just like that, the iPhone Mirroring started working!
