The Newest macOS Sequoia Feature Will Not Be Available Upon Initial Release

## The Latest macOS Sequoia Features: What to Expect

When it comes to innovative technology, Apple never disappoints. Their upcoming software update, macOS Sequoia, is no exception. Although packed with impressive features, one highly anticipated feature won’t be available immediately. Instead, it’s slated for release “later this year.” This could mean anything from an inclusion in macOS 15.1 in October to a debut in macOS 15.2 in late December.

Introducing the iPhone Mirroring Feature

During the WWDC 2024 keynote, Apple unveiled a new continuity feature for macOS Sequoia – the iPhone Mirroring feature. This game-changing addition allows you to use your iPhone from your Mac fully. You can interact with your iPhone and its apps wirelessly, using your Mac keyboard, trackpad, or mouse.

The iPhone stays locked when connected to the Mac, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access. Furthermore, this macOS Sequoia feature also integrates iPhone notifications with the Mac. This integration allows you to view your iPhone notifications right alongside your Mac ones. Tapping on it will open the corresponding iPhone app on your Mac.

Seamless Drag-and-Drop Between Devices: The Future is Here

While the above features are set to debut with macOS Sequoia 15.0, there’s another function that depends on iPhone Mirroring for operation. This function, which has been eagerly awaited by many, is the seamless drag-and-drop between devices. Unfortunately, it won’t launch with macOS 15.0.

Apple has described this function as a way to “move files, photos, and videos between your iPhone and Mac as easily as you drag and drop between apps on Mac.” This groundbreaking feature will revolutionize how we move content from one device to the other, saving time when editing videos, selecting photos, or carrying out any other tasks that require drag-and-drop between devices.

Conclusion

The latest macOS Sequoia promises to bring a host of exciting features to the table, making the user experience more seamless and efficient. However, the much-anticipated seamless drag-and-drop feature will not be available immediately upon the software’s initial release. Despite this slight delay, the feature, along with iPhone Mirroring, is set to significantly streamline the interaction between iPhones and Macs, marking a significant advancement in Apple’s continuity features.
