Your Mac undoubtedly has better speakers than your iPhone, so you get better audio quality while sitting at your desk. In an era of ubiquitous access to cloud-based services, AirPlay may not be as relevant as it once was, but there are still times when being able to AirPlay to a Mac could be a helpful trick, especially if you connect a Mac mini to your TV as a home entertainment device.Īnother use case you may appreciate is AirPlaying audio from your iPhone to your Mac. In the survey, 74% of respondents reported never having used the feature, with 21% saying they used it occasionally and only 5% using it frequently.
The question is: who wants to use AirPlay to send audio or video from an Apple device to a Mac? If our recent survey of TidBITS readers is anything to go by, the answer is: maybe not many (see “ Survey Results: Which iOS 15 and macOS 12 Monterey Features Do You Actually Use?,” 8 August 2022). Years passed, and I gave up on Apple ever offering such a feature, but then Apple surprised me by announcing AirPlay to Mac in macOS 12 Monterey.
