- Alex3917 9y agoIt is actually largely the same OS, they just call it different things depending on what device it's on. And there is zero reason to believe that Apple isn't currently doing the same thing on MacOS, or won't do so without warning in the future.
- fredoliveira 9y agoShockingly incorrect. From the kernel, to the BSD subsystem, to the graphics layer, these are all dramatically different things between the two operating systems.
- dwaite 9y agoPart of APFS is getting the iOS and macOS filesystems back in line. HFS+ started to diverge between the two of them.
