What we know so far: To comply with Europe's new tech industry regulations, Apple must allow businesses and developers to request interoperability with their devices. A recent request from Microsoft could allow users to seamlessly copy and paste content between Windows PCs and Apple devices, but whether the feature would be available globally remains unclear.

MacRumors recently spotted a request from Microsoft to Apple to enhance copy-and-paste capabilities between Windows and Apple devices in Europe. If implemented, the functionality might resemble the Universal Clipboard that currently works across iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Developers who support Apple devices can view this and similar requests made via Apple's interoperability request form. The company launched the portal in compliance with the European Union's Digital Markets Act, which, among other things, required Apple to allow broader compatibility between its platforms and third-party services.
