Fair point, but I can’t stop wondering whether the crux of the issue wasn’t the OS and the decisions that go back to iPhone or iPod. I can’t recall the details, but they tried to get MacOS to work and then decided to go with the alternative. I can only speculate on both that MacOS must have had a mobile story/dream since Newton and more so after nexstep.

So I wonder if what the article is pointing at wasn’t actually the inability of merging iOS and MacOS fully more than anything.
