Apple is Bringing a Useful iPhone Feature to the Mac

Apple this week previewed a wide range of new accessibility features that are coming to its software platforms later this year.

Vehicle Motion Cues Mac
Notably, Apple will be expanding the iPhone's useful Vehicle Motion Cues feature to the Mac.

The optional Vehicle Motion Cues feature shows moving dots on an iPhone's screen, in order to help reduce motion sickness while using the device in a moving vehicle. In addition to making this feature available on the Mac, Apple said it will provide new ways to customize the on-screen dots across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Vehicle Motion Cues debuted on the iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 last year, and the feature should be added to the Mac with macOS 16.

Apple will unveil macOS 16 during its WWDC 2025 keynote on June 9. After beta testing, the software update should be released in September.
