Apple Commits to iPhone-to-Windows Copy-Paste After Microsoft's EU Request

Apple will build cross-device copy-paste between iPhones and Windows PCs using AccessorySetupKit, its framework for secure accessory pairing. The commitment follows Microsoft's March 2026 request via Apple's EU interoperability system. Apple called it a significant engineering effort, targeting fall 2027 completion with EU-only beta testing. Users would consent once per paired device. Availability outside the EU remains unclear.
