Cannot use iPhone Mirroring with VoiceOver

Category

Severity

Description

iPhone Mirroring is completely inaccessible with VoiceOver. Even when turning VoiceOver off in order to pass keyboard commands to the iPhone, only the iOS VoiceOver navigation sounds are played through the Mac, not speech as would be expected. As audio from the iPhone can be played to the Mac, and the Mac’s keyboard can be used to control the iPhone, it is our position that the user should be able to hear iOS VoiceOver audio through their Mac, and use their Mac’s keyboard to navigate the iOS user interface.

Send your feedback to AAPL! Honestly on my 2020 Intel iMac, which would support the feature, realistically this makes the upgrade very nearly pointless, so I'm delaying it there. Such a crying shame.
