Apple has just launched the developer beta 4 for macOS Sequoia, with one innovative feature that makes the users life more efficient. The feature is known to be the window resizing in iPhone Mirroring.

This setting in the window was once only available in a fixed size; it now offers more options between actual size, smaller and larger.

The default option is "actual size," and the iPhone window thus appears in exactly the same size as it is in the actual device. Now you can select either "smaller" or "larger" if you would like to change the window size to your liking.

While users still can't freely resize the window to a custom size, this update is a significant improvement. The update comes alongside other exciting features in macOS Sequoia, including new CarPlay wallpapers in iOS 18 beta 4.

However, the addition of window resizing for iPhone Mirroring takes centre stage as a valuable addition to the platform.

How to resize iPhone Mirroring window?
