Apple to bring iPhone-to-Windows clipboard syncing to Windows PCs

Apple plans to enable cross-device clipboard syncing between iPhone and Windows PCs as part of the EU interoperability push, a feature Android users have had for years via Microsoft’s Phone Link and SwiftKey. The implementation uses an iOS extension and Apple’s Accessory Transport Extension framework, and requires user permission for each paired PC. Microsoft pushed for the feature, and Apple notes it’s a major engineering effort that may wrap up in fall 2027, potentially limited to EU users under current rules.

Apple to enable iPhone clipboard sharing with Windows PCs in EU

Apple has agreed in the EU to develop a cross-device clipboard feature that would let iPhone clipboard contents be shared with paired Windows PCs, responding to Microsoft's interoperability request. The plan uses an extension to transfer pasteboard data via the Accessory Notifications and Accessory Transport Extension frameworks, with per-device user consent and reliance on AccessorySetupKit. Development is targeted for completion by fall 2027, with a developer beta before a public release, potentially as part of iOS 28, and the EU scope may limit availability.

Windows Terminal features land in Windows 11's Command Prompt, boosting graphics and performance

Microsoft is bringing Windows Terminal-style improvements to the native Windows Command Prompt in Windows 11. The console host gains graphics support (including sixel), bold font rendering, faster scrolling, and more reliable paste, with an optional Direct3D rendering path behind a registry key (UseDx). Other updates include regex search, accessibility improvements, and better WSL/PowerShell behavior. Tabs remain a Windows Terminal feature, and these changes are designed to help systems without Terminal installed (including recovery environments) and are rolling out via Windows Insider previews.
