    The software is pretty overrated. Especially safari, which is a legitimately terrible browser and has been for a long time.

      I had to use firefox for a long time for it’s the browser with the highest support across web pages and file formats, whereas chrome and edge will just stop working at times. Firefoxi is, as of 2024, one of the best choices.

      Jup, but that was only relevant on iOS, never for MacOS. Also the digital markets act will end even that.

      For example you can make and receive calls on your computer instead of your phone when you are working on your PC. That is unmatched by any other ecosystem.

        Umm, you can do that on any device. It’s called Google Meet, Zoom, Discord, or any other countless othe video chatting applications out there.

        Apple software is pretty overrated no matter if it’s iOS or macOS. I use a MacBook for work and I use exactly zero Apple apps because they just aren’t very good.

        You can literally do this with an android too. Link to Windows. I’m unsure how KDE’s app is. But its not just apple that lets you use your phone and all its apps on your pc.
