Continuity camera
The continuity camera is totally inconsistent and unreliable in connecting. Why doesn't Apple fix this?

Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!

Yes; the underlying issue is that the connections are VERY unreliable. The exact same sequences sometimes work –– and sometimes don’t. Apple equipment used to be reliable but it is NOT reliable nowadays. And the so-called continuity camera is one of the worst examples of lower Apple quality. Very frustrating to pay extra for things that look nice but fail to function reliably. Nor does Apple Support know how to fix it as I discovered after many calls. Applemail is another bad example.

Mine worked fine for a while and all of the sudden stopped working - I tried restarting both laptop and iPhone to no avail. Also tried turning off and on "allow handoff" in iPhone settings.
The way I got it to work was to connect to USB and it showed right up. Apple doesn't make it very clear that a USB connection is an option. You do have to make sure to allow your iPhone to "trust this computer".

My same issue started when I went from iOS16 to 17.4 Hasn't worked since I have tried everything and I am not happy spending all the money I did for something that doesn't work.
