Thoughts on macOS & Windows

Ok, so now that it's out Sonoma is installed and for the most part, it's much the same as what was in place before. The one new thing that I'm really playing around with is the iPhone mirroring. 

Having the ability to just hit the iPhone and grab 2fa tokens, or poke a App on the device that I don't have sitting around on the computer is neat. I'm, not sure that it's a game changer but it's something that you just don't get on a Windows device at this point. 

The integration that Apple has on it's ecosystem is something that's really easy to overlook if you are looking at any one device. There are computers that can outperform, there are phones that have more unique features or better performance, there are better headphones, but as far as I know there are no combinations our there where I can be listening to audio from my computer and have the wireless headphones flip back over to the phone when a call comes in. 

And I'm sure there may be some, but not ones that I've come across that just freaking work right out of the gate like Apple's stuff does. 

At the end of the day I would love to see Microsoft get to a point where it's got the same level of integration that Apple has, but at that point I don't see how you could do that given the number of different companies making machines that run Windows.
