Popular iPhone and iPad Apps Snooping on the Pasteboard
Something that confuses me:<p>Windows app can do this.  Heck, in the case of a Windows app, you need not even poll the clipboard, you can sign up for notifications when it changes.  The API is ancient, well documented, and provides no feedback when it's being used.  And some apps indeed use it, one obvious one is remote desktop apps use it to "sniff" what's in the clipboard to mirror it along.<p>Is there a reason whatever security trade offs are OK in Windows, but not on a phone?
