Microsoft had taken everyone by surprise when it decided to sell Samsung’s latest flagship Galaxy S8 in it own stores. Now, strongholding its commitment towards a non-Windows mobile ecosystem at this year’s Build conference, confirming that in addition to Android, iPhones are also a key part of its vision.
Company executives who took the stage used iPhones for most demos, and this happened for a good reason: all the new Windows 10 features that will be part of the Fall Creators Update will work on Apple’s device as well.
In other words, users will be able to enjoy the best of Windows 10 even if they have an iPhone, as Microsoft is adding integration with iOS and making it possible for Microsoft Graph developers to connect desktop apps to mobile apps.
OneDrive Files On Demand, which is one of the greatest feature comebacks on Windows 10, will come with support for iPhones as well, as Microsoft wants everyone to be provided with a similar experience on its services no matter the platform.
Files On Demand is the new name of OneDrive placeholders, a feature that debuted in Windows 8 and which allowed users to browse cloud contents without having to download anything unless opening the files.
Also present was the Windows Timeline, a feature that returns the system to a specific state when certain apps were running is also linked to a pick up from where you left off option, which once again supports iPhones too.
This means that Apple iPhone users will be able to resume their work on their smartphones when leaving from their PCs. This feature will prompt them to open the apps they were running on the PC and in case they’re not installed, with links to download and install everything only to be able to continue their work.
And last but not least, Microsoft is also introducing a cross-platform cloud clipboard that allows users to copy and paste content between multiple devices which means the iPhone is one in the supported devices list.
