The Macintosh one is wild
Love the scene from the Steve Jobs movie where Woz asks Steve if in order to send an email on the NEXT computer the recipient would also need to have an NEXT computer.
Of course!
Basically iMessaging and FaceTime.
Blows my mind that literally every other brand of phone has settled on a standard for rich messaging and video calls, but Apple had to make a big stink about it and pinky-promise it'll be out this year.
And all the Apple users act like everybody else is inferior...while they're the only ones that are incompatible.
I bought an iPhone 12 specifically because I was tired of potato-grams between my wife and I. I switched back to Android a couple weeks ago on that pinky-promise.
Among several other Apple-isms, this one blows my mind then most.
