The boss of the Cupertino firm wanted to clarify things!
It’s a rumor that was launched by Bloomberg several months ago. The Cupertino firm would be on a ” merge ” of its two operating systems, iOS and macOS, so that they can run the same applications. A kind of dream for Apple aficionados who has just been swept away by the hand of the boss of the company: Tim Cook. Asked by The Sydney Morning Herald, he said such a merger was meaningless. What to calm the ardor of some fans and put – for now? – end to a rumor that has been circulating for a long time already …
No, macOS and iOS will not merge!
While Windows offers the same operating system for all devices, Apple prefers to play multiplication: tvOS, watchOS, macOS or iOS. And these are the ones that interest us today because for several months, rumors suggest a merger of the two operating systems. Fusion that will not take place according to Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, himself.
We do not think that we should degrade one for the other. Both bones are incredible. One of the reasons they are both is that we have made them do the best they can. If we start to merge the two, we will have to make compromises […] These mergers that obsess some people: I do not think that is what users want.
Tim Cook’s position is crystal clear. No need to think of a merger of the two operating systems that make the success of the firm. Especially that such a comparison would force users to sacrifice features that they do not want to see disappear! In other words, losing benefits is not desirable for the latter while the two OS are self-sufficient.
