Full Episode
all right i'm recording from what the hell is this sonoma sequoia sequoia there we go sequoia i've been doing that for a little while now yeah is it is it okay like i just installed it today like yeah i upgraded on day one so i've done all the episodes since then i've heard absolutely nothing about it from anybody so i guess it's fine no news is good news although you're gonna hear you're gonna hear more about it in uh in the show today oh did i make a mistake no it's fine
Although, actually, I don't know if we have a better time to bring this up, and I was thinking about this literally like half an hour ago, and so I'll just bring it up now. I am really, really enjoying, what is the official term for it? iPhone mirroring. I was going to say iPhone remote control, but iPhone mirroring.
I used it all the time at first, I think in a small part because it was new and fun and fancy, but it is really convenient to be able to effectively, I don't think this is literal, but effectively VNC into your phone. and control it from your Mac. And it seems to do a pretty good job of mirroring the clipboard and stuff like that.
The one thing that drives me bananas about it is that all of the different gestures that I've trained for the iOS simulator are not the same. So as an example, to scroll in the iOS simulator, you have to click and drag, whereas in this, you scroll. And Command-Shift-H... in the iOS simulator is hit the home button.
And in this it's command one of all things, which like fine, it's an easier gesture, but it is so wildly different than what we're used to. So as an iOS developer, it's kind of a pain in the butt, But in every other way, it is freaking great. And it'll even pull through audio, if I'm not mistaken. I've only done that like once or twice.
But I genuinely, I'm not just saying this because you're sitting right here, Marco. I genuinely think that the Overcast macOS app, as long as you're running on an Apple Silicon Mac, hi John, is actually pretty good. But if you don't fancy that, or for some reason you can't install it on like your work computer or whatever, but you can do the iPhone mirroring thing,
You can just pull the audio right through and use Overcast on your iPhone, even though it's sending the audio through your Mac. It is really well done, and I've been really impressed with it. And I don't think we had talked about it yet on the show.
Honestly, I haven't even used it yet, so I wouldn't have said anything about it. John doesn't use iPhones, so he wouldn't have said anything about it.
We did talk about it. Actually, maybe it was Rectifs. We were talking about using it to rearrange stuff on the screen. That was Rectifs, I believe. All right, anyway, I have used it. Yeah, did you know that iPhone mirroring works on Intel Macs?
