It was a gradual shift.
So, I ditched my gargantuan 17-inch gaming laptop for an M3-equipped 13-inch MacBook Air.
I adore its snappy performance, sleek design that’s compact enough to take around everywhere and gorgeous display.
Plus, macOS is easy enough to get the hang of even after using Windows for years.
But something was missing.
Where was the seamless connectivity between devices Apple has been lauding about since way back in 2014?
And so, just as Apple planned, I was lured intoApple’s walled garden.
So long,Pixel 7 Pro,and hello, iPhone 16.
Well,exclusiveto Apple products, as it isn’t as if other brands can’t do the same.
So far, I’m glad I did.
That’s whyAirDropandUniversal Keyboardhave been such a huge help.
And they appear post-haste, too.
No complicated setup I can just copy and paste away.
But there are even more ways an iPhone and MacBook combination has made my life easier.
Hands-on with Handoff
Apple’s Handoff is an absolute gem.
I don’t use all of these, with Safari and Notes being my main two drivers.
If I pop that text into Notes, I can immediately continue where I left off.
It’s a simple feature, but one that makes my digital life simple, too.
Again, in my day-to-day, this isn’t exactly something I can take advantage of.
Is using an iPhone together with a MacBook worth it?
But why lose out on features that boost workflows and make my daily tasks that much easier to do?
It’s the little things that make Apple’s connectivity between devices shine.
I’d say no, but are they worthwhile?
That’s a yes from me.
