The only thing holding millions, possibly in the 100s, from switching to Desktop Linux from Windows is Apple's iPhone support.

As a Mac user I might be missing something obvious - why do they need iPhone support on their computer?

  • Backups. Copying photos. Sharing files. As a Mac User, you're probably well served with backups integration in Finder, as well as iCloud, AirDrop, iMessage, and friends without realising it.

    • Eh? I don't have an iPhone, but my mum does and she uses it fine without a Mac. Everything just syncs to iCloud, if there is some benefit to connecting it to a Mac then I'm genuinely unaware of it.
