    Iphone Mirroring on Mac

    Hi, I was really looking forward to the iPhone mirroring function - but this functionality just seems so scrappy - great when it works but most of the time it fails to connect with one or several errors. Is it me, or is there a knack to getting this setup and working reliably. Thanks

It was 5 GB before -- how much bigger can we expect it to get, for something I have no intention to use? Is there still no way to remove these files and have them stay gone? I...
