>This is a lot less exciting than it seems to be at first glance. Opening apps from my phone on desktop: yes, I can see utility at that. But opening standalone phone app installations on my desktop? Why? There is almost no phone app I can think of that doesn't have a much better desktop equivalent - save, maybe, for games, but this doesn't seem to be aimed for that.
People are raving about being able to use iOS apps on M1 Macs - but then again native iOS apps are usually better than Android.
- mrtranscendence 6y agoAre they raving, though? In the reviews I’ve read running iOS apps has been a disappointment — many apps have opted out of being available, those that haven’t have issues like viewing movies in small windows, and the “touch alternative” interface is reportedly difficult to use.
- unix_fan 6y agoMost reviews on the new M1 Macs Say the experience of running iOS apps is poor, at best.
- thekyle 6y agoOne advantage Apple has is the massive collection of iPad apps available on the app store. The Android tablet app ecosystem is quite lacking in comparison.
