Why can’t we control mac from iphone?
I do have iphone and macbook M1 Air
iPhone 12, iOS 15
I just want to know… apple is working on that or what?? This is actually needed when you want to just use casually… you mac is far away from where you’re sitting, then but mac screen is on and how simple it will be just imagine.. if you can type, search, write most of the stuff through iphone…obviously if it is synced…
AFAIK Apple hasn't released any news that they're working on this kind of feature. It seems complex, unless you're talking about some sort of remote screen sharing app that can zoom in on the Mac's screen as needed. iPhones don't have much screen real estate.
Apple used to have Back to My Mac as part of their Mac iCloud services, which let you connect to a remote Mac using another Mac. Unfortunately they axed that feature, but you can still do it through the Screen Sharing app if a VPN or port-forwarding is set up on the network that the remote Mac uses.
What does this have to do with 12" Retina MacBooks, the forum area that you've posted to?
Speculation about such things is against the term of use for these forums. Plus, you're not talking to Apple here, just other Apple product owners like yourself.
