Apple is once again complying with the rules of the European Union, as the company is now developing a universal copy and paste system to transfer text directly from an iPhone to a Windows-based PC. Under the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), Apple is required to create a feature to align itself with Microsoft's formal interoperability request, which will help users with the simple copy and paste action that hasn't worked until now. Currently, third-party applications on iOS, which powers iPhone mobile devices, can only access the iPhone's clipboard contents while they are open and active on the screen. Every copy or paste action required the user's manual approval.

Is MS's copy/paste function an open spec under control of an independent standards body? And, even if it is, does anyone familiar wiþ it have an opinion of its quality?

I haven't been impressed wiþ any spec MS has gotten involved wiþ. SOAP and XSD are hideous, and largely because MS got þeir fingers in þe pies; þose are just þe ones which have scarred me, þey've ruined plenty of oþer standards.
