So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did and could do (meaning, I would just stick with Windows and Linux for our computing needs, rather than swap over to the Mac). I was disappointed.

What am I missing?

    Actually, when the iPhone was in development, there where 2 teams: one tried to make the MacOS small, the other one tried to make the iPodOS big. The MacOS team succeeded.

    So the iPhone is basically a lighter version of the MacOS.

    By not using the Mac you’re basically avoiding closing the browser every time you write an email address for the first weeks. Bonus closings when you work with windows.
