I wonder - if you're not an iPhone user, will Macs soon just not really be for you anymore? I don't care about iPhone integration, Siri, or Apple's AI.

- nottorp 2y agoTBH i have both Macs and iPhones and not only I don't use any integration options (with the exception of reading and sending text messages from my laptop) but I'm pretty sure I don't even know about 90% of them.
- chatmasta 2y agoI explicitly use different Apple IDs on each device because I don’t want to accidentally opt into features like mirroring my messages across them.
- nottorp 2y agoI do! I work from home and when home I never know where my phone is. Having messages and calls on my desktop means I don't have to care.
- mgrandl 2y agoThe only thing I use is the clipboard sharing.
- nottorp 2y agoI hate clipboard sharing :) I really don't need to paste the pieces of code I've been working on on my desktop on my phone. Everyone has different needs.

- buzzerbetrayed 2y agoYour Mac being able to control an iPhone somehow makes it worse for you if you don't have an iPhone? And what do Siri and Apple AI have to do with iPhone other than them also being on iPhone in addition to Mac?
- Toutouxc 2y agoYou don’t have to be an iPhone user to use the AI or Siri. And it’s not like they’re taking non-integration features away — if you’re happy with the current version, you’ll probably be happy with the next one, won’t you? I mean, I get the sentiment, macOS releases have gotten a bit more exciting since I got an iPad and an iPhone, but macOS is a perfectly good OS even without the iDevices.
