It’s been over a week since Apple dropped the first developer preview of macOS Tahoe. Most of the chatter is centered around the glass-inspired design makeover, and deservedly so. For me, Spotlight upgrades, especially the Quick Keys system, have been the standout element.
Yet, as I delved deeper and pushed it as my workhorse computing platform, despite all the bugs and performance snags, I have come to realize that it feels like home. And by that, I mean closer to the iPhone’s native feel than expected.
And it’s not solely due to the aesthetic uniformity, but owing to the functional changes. Apple didn’t only carry over system functionalities, but also some of the iPhone’s defining apps. The Phone app, for example, is one of them. And it’s not a half-hearted attempt either.
