After a long wait, macOS Monterey is finally here, to the delight of users of Apple’s original device that brought it to fame—and it introduces one very nice additional feature to AirPlay. Namely, the ability to stream from your iPhone directly to your beloved MacBook.
AirPlay has already been available for years—ever since iOS 4, in fact—letting you output a stream from your iPhone or iPad to watch from an Apple TV, HomePod, or a modern TV compatible with AirPlay 2. You could either mirror exactly what’s on your phone, or stream from a music or video player to the bigger Apple device of your choice—of which the MacBook was never in the mix.
