Figuring out which operating systems and integrations work best for you can make a mountain of difference in your productivity.  While devices are an integral part of our everyday busy lives, digital efficiency can ultimately shave time off of your workload, giving you more time to look away from the screen and do the things you love.<\/p>\n<p>Figuring out which hardware and systems fit your lifestyle feels glorious, like finally getting your foot in that glass slipper.  But damn, doesn&#8217;t it grind your gears when your ideal cell phone won&#8217;t play nicely with your ultimate laptop&#8217;s operating system?  You&#8217;ve found two glass slippers, but the heels aren&#8217;t the same height! <\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>Sadly, this is a struggle that so many people are unpleasantly familiar with.  This conflict most often occurs between two major makers of laptop and desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices: Apple <span> (<strong>AAPL<\/strong>) <\/span> and Microsoft <span> (<strong>MSFT<\/strong>) <\/span>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s Mac computers and iPhones are ridiculously easy to pair up.  Thanks to Apple&#8217;s &#8220;AirDrop&#8221; feature, you can send pictures and website links between your computer and your cell phone.  Two iPhone users can also AirDrop between phones when they&#8217;re close by each other, answer phone calls on their computers using FaceTime or voice call, and even text from an Apple computer.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>Meanwhile, Microsoft doesn&#8217;t produce cell phones;  instead, the company&#8217;s main focus is expanding the capability of its <span> (<strong>GOOG<\/strong>) <\/span> document suite, which provides a bridge between Microsoft and app stores that host Google&#8217;s series of apps.  Microsoft doesn&#8217;t have any direct integration features for the Android operating system, which is the most popular alternative to Apple&#8217;s iPhone.  Android does have its own alternative to AirDrop, but it only works between Android phones and doesn&#8217;t extend to Microsoft&#8217;s Windows operating system.<\/p>\n<p>What does all this mean?  Trying to make your iPhone pair with your PC computer leaves consumers much to be desired.  But now Microsoft and Apple are finally giving their shoppers something they&#8217;ve been desperately longing for.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><phoenix-picture><a><picture class=\"is-waiting-to-load\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.webp 620w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.webp 1240w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.webp 700w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.webp 1400w\"><source sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1240\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1400\/MTkyMTkzMDE3MDkwNjgwMDQ0\/apple-iphone-14-iphone-14-plus-hero-220907.jpg 1400w\"><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/phoenix-picture><!-- disableImageMeta is needed to prevent duplicate rendering of the image meta.--><!-- Duplicate rendering can occur because we have moved the image metadata outside of--><!-- the .m-detail-header--container.

We&#8217;re excited to announce that we&#8217;re making it easier than ever for you to access your iPhone photos and videos, and the entertainment you love from Apple on Xbox consoles and Windows devices.Through a new integration with iCloud and the Photos app in Windows 11, you will be able to access all your photos and videos from your iPhone right in the Photos app . It&#8217;s seamless, just install the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store and choose to sync your iCloud Photos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>Windows Insiders will have access to the feature as of today.
