So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did and could do (meaning, I would just stick with Windows and Linux for our computing needs, rather than swap over to the Mac). I was disappointed.

What am I missing?

    All Apple devices run variants of the same software, so of course they have a consistent UI.

    It’s a desktop OS, the same as Windows and Linux.

    I’m not sure what you expected, can you elaborate?
