Found an unexpected use for an old iPhone. Works with the new macOS Sonoma

Recently I found an iPhone 6 lying on the table, which has not supported the current version of iOS for a long time and does not hold a battery charge well. Decided it as an additional information screen for Mac, which is great for displaying a couple of new widgets from macOS Sonoma.

operation is similar to the principle of option Stroller, that’s just the Apple chip does not support old gadgets and does not allow you to display a picture on the iPhone. But the necessary options are in the applications of external parties.

Coolest of all, which is similar, unlike the built-in option Stroller, touch control. When third-party apps release interactive widgets, they can be controlled by tapping on the iPhone screen.

How the old iPhone is progressing into an interactive screen for Mac

1. Install free app Yam display free on an iPhone.

The free version of the utility takes place in the form of a restart in about 7 minutes, if you like the idea, you can get a full society Yam Display for 699 rubles
