That’s not quite true. The new models are roughly equivalent to the MacBook Air, which makes them more than good enough for a lot of things. That said, I don’t know that I’d say that an external ultrawide would be one of those things, I’d want to see it in action before I pulled the trigger. My MBA spins up pretty good when I do Target Display to my iMac.
>plug and play
What’s a ‘plug’? Is that some kind of interface method? Seriously, as long as Files supports SMB, we good.
The problem with jailbreaking is that it tends to be dominated by organized crime. You really can’t trust exploit code from the Chinese mob.
I had a Nexus 6, the first Moto X (a pseudo-Nexus upon which the N6 was based), and a Galaxy Nexus. I miss almost nothing about Android. Yes, it *does* more, but when you have an attractive, consistently-designed phone that almost always functions, you don’t really feel the need to do all that extra shit as much.
What you gain is interactivity between devices. For instance, when your iPhone rings, your iPad and Mac will ring as well (if you configure them that way), and not only can you accept the call on whichever device you choose, but you can hand the call off to a different device mid-call if circumstances should change.
Web pages and content from other apps can also be “handed off” from one device to the other. If you have a web page on your iPhone that you’re tired of reading on your iPhone, there’ll be a spot on your MacBook’s dock where you can open the page in question immediately.
And all of that is to say nothing of AirDrop (pushing files and other content to other devices), AirPlay (Apple Chromecast), and AirPrint (print from any device without drivers due to a standardized infrastructure, what a novel concept!).
You probably already know a bunch of this, though. I guess the tl;dr of it is that the iPhone extends the Apple ecosystem into the cellular network.
