Summary created by Smart Answers AI In summary: Macworld reports that Apple is expected to bring Universal Clipboard functionality to Windows PCs by fall 2027 with iOS 28. Microsoft successfully requested this cross-device copy-paste feature through Apple’s EU Interoperability Requests system, with Apple approving the request in June. Users will need one-time consent for each paired accessory, enabling seamless clipboard sharing between iPhones and Windows computers for enhanced productivity.
