  • I could be wrong, but as I recall, the only requirement is that you need to be running at least 10.15 Catalina to be able to back up an iphone via the finder on a Mac, or you need the Apple devices app if you’re running Windows.

    I don’t believe you need MacOS 26 to backup iOS 26. That would screw over a lot of people with older hardware or people that didn’t have Macs.

    It’s the Plymouth Prowler of phones.

    Not the best performance or the most practical, but the bet is that a group of people will gravitate to the design. Also, it will look good in a store window and the learnings from it can inspire other more popular future products.

    And remember, the MacBook Air and iMac launched this way originally. The first versions were not super practical when compared to their sibling products. Eventually, as technology progressed, the form factor became easier to fill with practical hardware.
