iPhone Mirroring screen is clipped and off-center on Mac after iOS 27 update

I'm running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 (25G83) and iOS 27.0.


When using the iPhone Mirroring on the Mac, the iPhone's screen isn't centered and is being clipped. This makes it pretty unusable as elements are not able to viewed or clicked. I have restarted both devices, cleared the iPhone from the mirroring connection and reset it up again. This has persisted through out the iOS 27 Developer beta and now into the RC. This was not happening prior to iOS 27.

iPhone Mirroring on Tahoe with my iOS 27 iPhone works normally.



Have you rebooted your Mac? If not, that's the first step. If that does not help, then see if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode. That process performs some system cleanup and clears caches, and also disables 3rd party extensions that may cause problems.

If that does not correct the issue, test in a new user account. A newly-created user account will have all settings at default, and if the issue does not occur in that new account then it provides guidance on what may need to be changed to correct the issue.

 

Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support

 

Once the testing is complete, the new account can easily be deleted.

Those steps will help to isolate the problem.
