One of the new features in macOS Sequoia is iPhone Mirroring. You can connect to your iPhone, see its screen and control it.

My Mac is using 2 folders to store apps: one is in the user folder ~/Applications, the second is the system applications folder at /Applications.

One day I created a search filter in Finder and saved it to have all the available apps in one place, also did put it to the sidebar in the Favourites section.

But also I love to have a shortcut in the Dock. So I've added a grid here too. It worked as I expected until I updated to macOS Sequoia and tried the iPhone Mirroring app once. Now the grid shows some apps from my iPhone too:

An interesting thing is that only Dock's grid shortcut shows the apps from my iPhone, but not the search in Finder.

And here comes the funny part - that's what you'll see if you will try to launch an app from your iPhone:

macOS 18.0 or later? Really? I wonder if that's some feature planned for a future macOS update. Will see :)
