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.



But its not in the EU anymore
What’s not in the EU anymore?
You can side load apps and Apple can’t prevent app stores
Apps that Apple has approved, no?
Nothing I’ve read says that.
Try reading this:

They still have to be “notarized” by, and pay a commission to, Apple.
So Apple is just being Apple
And the EU (and every other country) is letting them get away with it.
