Pavel Jelic If you own multiple Apple devices, such as an iPhone and a Mac, you will surely agree that the connectivity of Apple devices is simply great. Anything you do on an iPhone is automatically reflected on a Mac or even an iPad – and of course it works the same way the other way around. If you take a photo on your iPad, it will automatically appear in the library of all your other devices that you have under your Apple ID. It can work exactly the same with notes, reminders and selected data in general. But it's not just about data synchronization. Apple devices can do a lot more in terms of connectivity, which makes them stand out from competing products on some fronts.

Flying around the world with Apple The Handoff function can really do a lot
One of the great features is, for example, Handoff. The name of this function probably doesn't tell you much, but once you find out what this function can do, you will immediately like it and start using it. With the Handoff function, the connectivity of all Apple devices can be taken to a higher level. With Handoff, you can simply put the work you started on one device to finish on another device. For example, if you open a page in Safari on an iPhone, you can immediately view it on a Mac, for example, thanks to Handoff. The icon of the app you're in on the other device will appear in the macOS device's dock, and when you tap it, you'll be right where you left off on the original device, in our case, a specific web page.
But that is certainly not all that the Handoff function can do. In addition to allowing you to easily continue working on another Apple device, it is also suitable for copying files and other data across devices. If you have the Handoff function activated, the "shared" mailbox will be activated. So whatever you copy on your iPhone will automatically be available on all your other devices. If you copy some text on the iPhone, and then perform a paste action on the Mac (for example, by pressing Command + V), the text that was copied on the iPhone will be pasted. As I mentioned above, the Handoff function works on practically all Apple devices, i.e. on iPhone, iPad, Mac or MacBook and Apple Watch. In order to be able to use Handoff, it is necessary that the devices are connected to Wi-Fi and that they have active Bluetooth.
