Updated my MacBook Pro and wanted to try iPhone mirroring, but it says, "not available in your country or region." I live in Estonia. Why does Apple even do stuff like that? Why can't everybody enjoy new updates fully?

Ok I was wrong. I have a an US Apple ID as my main ID as I reside now in the EU I have made a local ID for media. Now I signed out the EU ID for media and purchase (not your main Apple ID) in my iPhone and signed in my US ID, the same as in my Mac, now it works :).
true, when I was in Singapore it worked and it such a nice feature, I love it ! back in Belgium no longer working ...
It’s super frustrating having all these things that apparently are great features on the Apple products and that we can only use them in the US! Maybe we should stop getting Apple products and leave them to the US coz what the point then if you have to be in the US to use your phone features!
I have to say that happening in Greece too, the thing is that we give our money on the same products, and Apple company have the same issues, the same problem, to the all costumers. The question is Android phones and windows laptop have the same issues with the EU rules?
THIS IS ''unacceptable''.
Please fix it immediately!!!!
looking forward for the next ios update to solve this problem, because seriously it's a big big big problem to APPLE PRODUCTS in 2025!!!

Change your region where? Because changing region s in "regional" in Settting doesn't make it work. It probably works if you change to US in the Apple ID, which isn't as straightforward and has other implications.
Just to add, you may want to do a search for a way to bypass the restriction. Personally, I wouldn't bother.
Ok, got my answer. Not that I really really want to use this app but was just wondering why these kind of restrictions exist. But got it, EU regulations.
Thanks!
You're welcome.
Same here Welcome
It’s same situation in Croatia.
iphone mirroring is not available in your country or region

Croatia is a member of the EU.
I trust the EU to be looking out for me

FTFY :-/
Sorry but one seems to miss the point
There are EU Commission Regulations that prohibit using the Apple iPhone to perform as it was designed to work
Once again, the EU getting in the way of everything by force.
Thanks! *That’s* an explanation!
Still, I think this is bad on EU part, it supresses innovation.
Well that was exciting. @06H31 - I can have iPhone mirroring. @06H32 - No you can't.
