It seems that iPhones and computers would work together with Windows could improve significantly in the future. Apple confirmed that the European Union is currently considering an application Microsoftu o making the native cross-device clipboard function available, i.e. a shared clipboard between iOS a Windows. It results from communication Applu with Microsoftem as part of the interoperability process that the company is conducting due to the requirements of the European DMA law. According to the published document Apple stated that after the initial assessment of the application Microsoftu moves to the next phase. In it, the relevant teams should evaluate whether an effective interoperability solution can be offered and, if so, prepare a proposal for its implementation. In other words, Apple doesn't promise anything yet, but the ability to connect iPhones with Windows he certainly did not reject it in this way.
And what does cross-device clipboard actually do? In short, it is a feature that allows you to copy text, images, or other content on one device and then immediately paste it on another. For example, a user can copy a link on an iPhone and paste it into a document on a Mac in a matter of seconds. Device owners from AppThis feature is well known to many as Universal Clipboard, which has been working between iPhones, iPads, and Macs for years. If Apple enabled similar integration with Windows, it would mean significantly more convenient work for millions of users using a combination of iPhone and computer with the operating system Microsoftu.

That is precisely the long-term goal. Microsoftu. The company has been significantly expanding its connections in recent years Windows with mobile phones via the Ph applicationone Link, which today allows you to view notifications, read messages or transfer photos. However, a shared mailbox would be one of the most practical features ever and would take the cooperation between the two platforms to the next level. When, or if, we will see this news at all, is not yet clear. Apple so far only confirmed that the request Microsoftis assessing and preparing its technical evaluation. The very fact that it has reached the next stage of the approval process suggests that the connection would iOS a Windows could improve again in the future. And frankly, if it does, Apple the ecosystem will lose another of its great weapons, because this great connectivity is, for me personally, one of the reasons why people Apple products reach. And once this uniqueness is suddenly made available to everyone, the magic Apple can run outchat.
