How to Paste a Phone Number into the iPhone’s Phone App

I had a phone number in an email that I wanted to cut-and-paste into the phone app. When I switched from the email app to the phone app I didn't find a way to paste - there's just the numeric keypad. No box or other indicator of how to paste a number.

Fortunately I'm at home and could look up how to cut-and-paste and found this excellent article.

I get regularly frustrated with how the "it just works" philosophy hides things or makes them difficult. I suddenly started having problems with my Bluetooth trackpad but not my keyboard. I actually bought a Bluetooth mouse but am having trouble with it, too. I've tried resetting the NVRAM and PRAM but it doesn't seem to work with the Bluetooth keyboard. I need to try again with a physical keyboard, I guess.

I was having trouble updating MacOS a while ago and had to deal with the different hidden commands to reboot my Mac.

I'm encouraged that the new Apple Silicon Macs are supposed to have boot options available on the screen. I would love to see Apple make more things more obvious to the end user.
