Device Previews
One of the many hurdles we will overcome is the differences between the four main Apple product categories. These categories are as follows:
- Mac – iMac, Mac Pro, MacBook, anything that runs macOS, even Hackintosh
- iPad – Mini, regular, Air, Pro, all of them
- iPhone – Mini, Pro, Pro Max, all iPhones
- Apple Watch – small, big, old, or new
The obvious thing you will notice is that they get smaller and smaller. They naturally have different purposes; an Apple Watch won’t replace a Mac and vice versa.
