[Sidhu]

Hi guys, I had the same issue and was fixes by changing the DNS to google instead of cloudflare.

iPhone Mirroring doesn't work in Belgium.
For the rest no issues with Sequoia. It's stable.

Hi guys, I had the same issue and was fixes by changing the DNS to google instead of cloudflare.

And I fixed mine by removing Google and only listing Cloudflare. I wonder if having both DNS numbers in there just confuses Facetime. It never used to, but Facetime started working the moment I removed Google (which just happened to be the first in the list).

I finally got it to work. I rebooted my phone one last time, and then my phone promoted me for my security code.

This worked for me too
Its pretty cool although it only stays in portrait

I'm getting the same message about my iPhone 14 Pro Max not being up to date, even though it is. No success trying to get it connected. ****ing useless Day 1 ******** as always from Apple.

It's been a great experience so far.

I got it to work on my MacBook Pro and Mac Studio. It didn't see my iMac Pro.

It doesn't work the way I expected to. It's a simple mirror. I was hoping to be able to remote control it from my Mac.

2015 MacBook Pro Sequoia over opencore legacy patcher and iPhone SE3 ios18 not working.

Only work with Macs with T2 security chip.

 

[cbns]

where does it say requires apple silicon or t2? and if that we the case, why is it showing up on my Intel Mac?

Everywhere. Apple Silicon or T2 are security requirements.

What is this and how do you do it please?

 

[martin2345uk]

same here ... tried rebooting phone and laptop, didn't work.

EDIT: my router was set to automatically use the DNS set by the ISP. Overriding this and setting it to use OpenDNS seems to have worked for me. So open your router settings, for me 192.168.1.1, and find your Internet/DNS settings page and setup in this order:

Primary DNS: 192.168.12.1
Secondary DNS: 208.67.222.222
Third DNS: 208.67.220.220

hope it helps someone

If you have an Intel MBP woth TouchID you likely have the necessary T2 chip hence why you are able to see it on your Intel Mac. 2018 and later Mac minis have T2 also. So any Intel Mac with T2 can use it. A 2015 MBP does not have a T2.

These are the Macs with the T2. Weird that it shows the feature for you.

You're probably most correct I suspect, would not surprise me

There is one additional requirement: you need to be signed in to FaceTime with your Apple account.

I have the same problem. I've tried resetting my iPhone and Mac multiple times but it always happens.

At first, the mirroring worked, but required a password on the phone every time. After a few hours, the mirror will refuse to work and prompt a timeout. It can still detect if my phone's screen is on, prompting me to lock the screen.

I tried resetting my iPhone's access permissions but never success. I also noticed that the iPhone mirroring option didn't appear in my iPhone settings in General > AirPlay & Continuity. When the mirror is working and running, the option will appear until the mirror window is closed.

I've tried again in iOS 18.0.1 and macOS 15.0.1 and it still happens.
