iPhones define the smartphone market, even if they do not completely dominate it now that Android has taken the lead in market share. To Future, I now have a little more insight into what others do at the organization, which has been one of the biggest positives of this experience.Apple’s brilliant success since Steve Jobs returned in 1997 has made it the largest company in the world by almost any measure, with a market capitalization that exceeds Microsoft and Intel combined. And to my family at iMore, it will be awesome to be back. To my TechRadar team, thank you for your embrace and words of encouragement. I'll take the time using both macOS and Windows 11 to see what works and doesn't work and report back often. When Parallels fully embraces Windows 11, a virtual copy of it will sit proudly on my M1 MacBook Pro. And as far as Windows 11 goes, I'm going to do something that would have been unthinkable three months ago. Moving forward, I'll take this renewed skepticism back to iMore in my writing. Perhaps this is one reason some at TR aren't nearly as thrilled or excited about Windows 11 as Apple websites like iMore are about macOS Monterey. The broader mix of coverage here tends to result in a more critical eye. This brings me back to TechRadar and how my time here has affected me professionally.īy design, TR does more than cover PCs and Windows, unlike iMore, which reports on Apple almost exclusively. Among those features that might work on Macs are news feeds on widgets, the ability to quickly snap two or more apps, and more. This line of thinking is also why I'm confident future macOS changes will look strikingly similar to those that prove successful in Windows 11. Instead, it's simply Redmond embracing things that work. With this in mind, I don't believe those five Windows 11 changes mentioned above represent Microsoft's attempt to copy Apple. It's a phrase still pressed at the company and many others. Throughout my years of covering Apple at both iMore and other websites, I often think back to one of Steve Jobs' most iconic phrases, "it just works." The late Apple co-founder used this term when he revealed new products. Does it lead to fewer headaches for the masses? That's also true. That collective knowledge has resulted in more similarities between Windows and Mac each year. Though companies like Microsoft and Apple continue to make tweaks to operating systems, broad changes are increasingly infrequent as both companies have figured out what works best with software. For decades, desktop computing has been a part of daily life for millions around the world.
