What do you mean? This is what Universal Clipboard does.
- alphager 3y agoPretty sure you had to configure both devices for it to work.
- scarface_74 3y agoNo, just sign into both of them with your iCloud account
- abenga 3y agoIt obviously uses "a program, a hack, or configuration" (taking these from the original reply), just that they are written and pre-installed by Apple, and work seamlessly.
- askonomm 3y agoBut from the end-user perspective it doesn't really. Nobody consciously sets the universal clipboard up, it comes as part of the cohesive whole of the Apple ecosystem. That's my point. Whether or not you want to dive deep into nerdland of if it's a program or not is besides the point, because for the end-user none of it matters, and that's why the vertical integration is nice.
- abenga 3y agoProbably true. The whole vertical integration does rub me the wrong way though, it's just uncomfortable to have one company own so much of my personal computing infrastructure, especially one that is so unfriendly to "tinkerers" like me.
- scarface_74 3y agoYes because the 10% market share that Apple has in computers is really worrying…
- abenga 3y agoIf I buy an Apple phone, tablet, and computer, that will be 100% of my computing infra, which is all that matters to me.
- scarface_74 3y agoThen don’t buy a device that doesn’t meet your needs? I don’t go shopping in the big and tall store expecting to find something that meets my needs when I am five foot five.
