According to a report by Kuai Technology on June 22, Fred Sainz, an Apple spokesperson, recently revealed that Apple plans to release the iOS/iPadOS 18 Beta 2 update next Monday (June 24).

At the same time, he also confirmed that the new version will introduce two functions: iPhone mirroring and enhanced SharePlay screen sharing.

It is reported that iPhone mirroring allows Mac users to mirror their iPhone screens to Mac devices, enabling interaction with the iPhone, receiving iPhone notifications on the Mac, and seamless drag-and-drop between the Mac and iPhone.

Similar to the multi-screen collaboration functions of various Android manufacturers, this feature was first promoted by Huawei's HarmonyOS to achieve seamless collaboration between computers, tablets, and mobile phones, and later followed by others.

Originally, the connection between devices under the Apple ecosystem should be more convenient, but Apple has only introduced this feature so far, which is slightly behind compared to Android.

SharePlay is a collaborative function developed by Apple based on FaceTime. For example, you can use FaceTime to make video calls with friends and watch the same movie on each other's devices during the call.

It is similar to the "create a room" function in apps like Tencent Video, enhancing social attributes.
