If you are one of the KDE Connect fan, and was waiting for iPhone+KDE Plasma integration, then good news for you. The KDE Team announced that the popular KDE Connect applications is now available as iPhone app.

It’s in Beta test phase using TestFlight and everything is not yet fully functional. I got my device connected and could push clipboard contents from the phone to my Linux computer (but not yet from PC to phone), but much of the other functionality is not yet there. And of course being Apple, it seems to disconnect whilst in the background.

But great thing is it is in Beta and things are happening!

    Well it is good that they are trying to reach wider. Unfortunately iPhone limitations (self-inflicted by Apple) will greatly limit its potential. It is a killer app on Android.
