Apple programs iPhones to sync with Mac computers right out of the box. You can send files wirelessly, copy on one and paste on another, start a note on an iPhone and end it on a Mac, use the iPhone’s superior camera as a webcam — the list goes on. Apple makes none of these available on Windows PCs, but in a few steps, you can easily replicate many of them via Microsoft’s built-in tools and third-party apps.
There’s a host of apps that let you connect your iPhone and Windows laptop. Similar to what Apple offers on macOS, you can respond to your iPhone’s texts and calls from your Windows PC, exchange files like documents in an instant, and even repurpose your iPhone’s camera and microphone as your computer’s peripherals.
