Power users already immersed in Apple's ecosystem can stand to gain a lot by adding an iPhone to their repertoire. There are many other great examples of continuity across iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS - and the iPhone is a critical component in that puzzle, especially now that iPhone apps can be seamlessly ported to macOS. Microsoft is helping Google close the gap somewhat with its new Your Phone app for Windows, which allows Android users to respond to texts and notifications on their PCs, though the experience is a little clunky and there is still work to be done. Only a handful of Android phone makers have hardware ecosystems that approach Apple's, and even for some that come close, like Samsung, you won't get the depth of integration possible between the iPhone and other Apple-built devices. You can even complete purchases on your Mac by using biometric authentication features on your iPhone via Apple Pay. Another one of our favorites is Continuity Camera, which allows you to take pictures and scan documents using your iPhone's camera, and then view and edit them on your Mac. Universal Clipboard makes text copied on one platform usable on the other. Take Handoff, for example, where calls on your iPhone and web pages in Safari can move seamlessly between iOS and macOS. Apple has designed a multitude of continuity features that allow you to carry over work and data from one of its devices to another, and these features can certainly save you time.
