Back when it unveiled the Galaxy S8, Samsung also took the wraps off an innovative companion dock that transformed how we think of our smartphones. IPhone X has more screen than ever, but it’s still not built for work.īut it doesn’t have to. And as long as the iPhone stays in the 6-inch range, it’s going to stay that way. Apple will happily sell you an iPad or a MacBook to fill that need, but otherwise there’s no way to expand the screen and no real multitasking, at least not like Split View or Picture in Picture on the iPad. The largest iPhone screen is just 5.8 inches, which isn’t exactly conducive to getting work done. The one thing the iPhone doesn’t have, however, is a large screen. It’s more than capable for most tasks-messaging, web browsing, streaming, social media-has a great camera and lasts all day. Simply put, the iPhone has become the MacBook Air for a generation of Apple users who have no use for the processing power of a PC. Apple may still sell some 20 million Macs a year, but it ships twice as many iPhones in a down quarter. In fact, it’s not a Mac at all: It’s the iPhone. Ten years later, Apple’s ultimate portable isn’t the MacBook Air anymore. Essentially, it’s the Mac mini of the notebook line. It hasn’t been received a meaningful update in years (despite a spec bump at last year’s WWDC), and no longer holds the claim as the company’s lightest or thinnest laptop in Apple’s lineup. The MacBook Air isn’t the smallest, thinnest, or lightest MacBook anymore.īut Apple’s strategy for the MacBook Air has hit something of a wall.
