I don’t get why iPhone mirroring is such a big deal for many.
The scenario that they described was that your iPhone is in another room.
Is it that onerous to go get it? Do people here live in mansions or something, it would be a trek to go get it?
The one device which is most-likely to be always on hand would be your phone?
For
me, this feature might not be the biggest of deals, but it is welcome none-the-less.
On any given day there’s a better than even chance that the iPhone will sit on its charger next to the bed until I leave the house. At the very least, it will be there until I get dressed…because pockets are requisite for carrying the phone around. (I have need of my
hands for other tasks.) Care for my senior father has broken of me of my life-long morning routine which included dressing first thing in the morning.
In terms of the trek — it would have been more of one in my previous home, a (small) Victorian mansion where I was frequently working in an adjacent carriage house. Here it’s not the distance but rather the likelihood of being side-tracked by
The Elders anytime I leave the
sanctity of my office/studio area. Or that I’ve forgotton the phone in the car, and will ultimately be calling upon
Find My to locate it. Both risk my losing the flow of whatever task I needed the phone for to begin with.
Not having the phone on my person is made possibile because I’ve been able to
answer the phone from Mac or iPad for some time now. Having full access to the phone from the desk, in the basement, is absolutely something that will be useful and helpful to me.
What I don’t get is why we contestantly need to reiterate NOT FOR YOU ≠ NOT FOR ANYONE.
