Apple’s “post-PC” marketing line became reality for many individuals. Not because they bought Macs and iPhones but because many Windows problems were avoided on mobile operating systems. Mobile browsers and apps have the majority of mindshare.
Mobile devices wake instantly. Official app stores are much safer from malware than the Windows software acquisition ecosystem of running an Internet search, the first search result being malware, he website having fake download buttons, and downloading often unsigned .exe files. There’s no anti-virus software bogging down I/O. There’s less maintenance like disk defragmentation, Windows Updates that take an hour and require a forced restart. Users can’t get lost opening a file they downloaded because files are hidden away through the abstraction of apps. If you’re just consuming content you might not even own a PC.
