iPhone Mirroring Supports File Dragging

After users upgrade the iPhone to iOS 18.1 Beta 5 and the Mac device to macOS 15.1 Sequoia Beta 5 update, they can drag and drop files between iPhone and Mac devices.

For example, users can drag photos and other files from the Mac to the Photos app on the iPhone; drag PDF files to the Files app on the iPhone. The operation of dragging files from the iPhone to the Mac is basically the same, and users just need to drag it to the position you want.

iOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 are expected to be officially released in October.
