Apple’s Windows users: This update brings new features

Not all iPhone users have a Mac. Very many of them actually use a Windows PC or laptop. Apple now has an important update ready for this clientele – installation is recommended accordingly.

If you want to fully exploit the potential of your iPhone, you can of course use the various iCloud services. With Apple’s devices, they do not require any separate software. Whether iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS or watchOS – everything is so nicely integrated into the system. A PC or notebook with Windows, on the other hand, is initially a foreign body with “iCloud for Windows” but a nearly full member of the Apple family.
