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?

    Better question: Is an iPhone less than a tiny PC?

    If it weren’t for the crippled OS, their ridiculous power would be more obvious. They’re probably faster than any two-generation old, mid range CPUs and GPUs, as well.

    That said, remember iPhone Pro phones cost more than most laptops, and by that same token, have more powerful gpus and cpus than most laptops, too.
