iPhone Mirroring missing in Denmark after Sequoia update

It is not enough to change the Region in the Language & Region Settings.

Perplexity recommends a betaprofiles post about hacking my elibigibility.plist by first disabling SIP. That surely scares away most.

Europe forced apple to do some modifications on their iPhones and iOS in the Europe that they didn't liked so in response they block features that peoples likes the most like apple intelligence (in most countries) and iPhone mirroring is part of those features that has been disabled in EU

Apple's market dominance in EU has reached what EU calls Gate Keeper Level. This means that Apple must open up so others get a fair chance to work with Apple software and hardwade. I guess iPhone Mirroring is such an interoperability feature. Apple has instead chosen to drop the feature. Likely it is simple to do when engineers work in the same company, but the challenge goes up a level when it needs to become a standard.

The funny thing is that you can already do it very well and for free on Android and Mac thanks to scrcpy. But, there's no third-party solution for Mac and iPhone. The EU ivory tower makes everyone worse, as usual.

Thanks for elaborating. I read (or misread) your comment as stating that DMA is separate from this feature, not as separate from your idea about price.

Well, price is a result of demand vs. offer, so let's see. As Android faces the same problems, the offer is even. Naturally the demand side has its say too about both.

Frankly, I care disproportionately more about the EU being a place where a company can sell what its customers want to buy from it than about any single company.

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple largely is not here, except to moderate it.

Product Feedback - Apple

Hi bjosve, did you read the article?

"Apple Intelligence-funktioner lanceres i USA og udvides til yderligere varianter af engelsk senere på året"

"Apple Intelligence lanceres først på engelsk (USA) og vil hurtigt blive udvidet til lokale varianter af engelsk i Australien, Canada, New Zealand, Sydafrika og Storbritannien til december. Til næste år understøttes flere sprog, herunder fransk, japansk, kinesisk og spansk."

Unclear if it comes to Denmark or the rest of the EU now with iOS 18.1 (the same article exists in every European country, for example Germany: Apple Intelligence kommt ab nächsten Monat auf iPhone, iPad und Mac - Apple (DE)) and if it comes, it'll be only English to begin with.

They are separate. I have read the comment that you were reacting to and I'd also urge you to stop propagating false conclusions and oversimplifying this issue. you stance seems like it could be described as "Apple can do no wrong" which is pretty much your critisism of my comment, which is a quite absurd missunderstanding of what I've said so far.

I'll try to make this easier to follow I guess? So there are the two very separate issues at hand.

1. DMA is an issue in it's current state. The base idea of stopping gatekeeping and such has clear merits but the implementation shows a clear incompetence from EU representatives which isn't surprising since most of them are completely tech illiterate and and grossly incompetent to pass legislature on the subject. One of the main ideas behind the DMA is to protect start-ups and smaller actors to be forced out by large gatekeepers, but it fails completely at this affecting start-ups just as much if not more. This is currently leading to less features being launched in the EU and the products available falling behind compared to other regions. Unfortunately it might be a resonable choice for companies just to skip EU for features that aren't mainstream. However, most of the time with DMA the requirement isn't to enable these innovations for everyone, but just not to actively block or counteract them.
2. Apple Marketing and Pricing their products as if they were the same and had the same features outside of EU. If they do choose to release an inferior product in the EU since they don't wish to comply with regulations I don't expect to pay for the full experience while only getting a subset of it. This is completely in Apples control and not in any way them being a victim to EU. It is completely fair that they move the cost of these innovations to those who benefit from them and as they are in control of their pricing model there is nothing stopping them from this.

Hopefully this helps you to understand how this, as with most things can't just be reduced to Apple Bad vs. EU bad but is a componded issue that has even more complexity than I'm descibing here.. but I am trying to keep it simple so...

Also, could we be stright forward here, could you just let me know if you are interested in this issue or if you are just here white-knighting Apple so I know if you're even susceptible to further info? Don't get me wrong.. I'm not saying you are, but so far you're kinda giving off a "complete and utter devotion to Apple who is a innocent victim in this" -vibe.

And, as issue no. 2 is within Apples control. That's the one I was focusing on with my comments. I paid in full, so I'll have the full product. Thus the pressure is on Apple to deliver.

F++ck EU establishment

Actually, the article says “lanceres i USA” (launches in the USA). In all European versions of that article states the same thing: In the USA

BUT WHY???

Same in Portugal. Does Apple have an expected release date for this feature in other countries?

Gee, you really don't understand! By the way, instead of complaining just switch to an Android phone.

We should just all switch to Androids and praise Androids. At least they are inclusive.

Maybe we are just choosing the wrong decision makers in the EU.

Nah. DMA issues are a separate but valid discussion. I'm paying the same or more for a inferior product and Apple is setting their prices.
