According to a recent post at MacApper – iPhone Copy-Paste Must be Implemented by Apple. Copy and Paste is not a function that could be created by a 3rd party developer using the Apple iPhone SDK. The iPhone SDK just doesn’t include the functionality in order to implement copy and past (or cut and paste) functionality.

John Casasanta, president of the iPhone app development company Tap Tap Tap, would love to build it, but with the tools Apple gives developers, it’s technically impossible. “Apple doesn’t really provide it in their SDK,” he said. “There’s no real way of doing copy-paste.”

If you have any specific features that you’d like to see added to the iPhone, please view this post and leave a comment, add to the list… hopefully Apple will see it and maybe do something about it.

  1. Video Recording Capability – upload to YouTube functionality would be nice with this
  2. Copy & Paste – is it really that difficult?
  3. Multi-Text Message – rather than leaving a group text message, can’t the multi-text be added to the conversation of each recipient? That’d make sense, wouldn’t it?
  4. Text Message Forwarding – no explanation needed.

This is just my short list – if I’m forgetting anything major, please let me know, or just add it in the comments.
