If you own an iPhone® and haven’t upgraded to a Mac® computer yet, you’re missing out on the conveniences it offers. Apple® has designed a system that allows these devices to effortlessly work in tandem, giving daily life some convenient and enjoyable shortcuts. Here’s a closer look at how the two devices go together.

Why an iPhone Pairs So Well With a Mac

1. Get Calls & Texts on the Computer

Your Mac can receive calls, texts, and FaceTime® chats from fellow Apple users if you’ve enabled the feature in your settings. This allows you to use the computer for work or enjoyment without missing an important call or text. The computer’s bigger screen will provide enhanced clarity for video calls, and you can stay in contact without having to constantly get up and check the phone. 

2. Use Apple Pay® Securely on the Computer

A Mac computer can use Apple Pay as a checkout option, even without the Touch Bar®. As long as your phone is within reach, you can enjoy the convenience and security of this checkout method when making purchases on the computer. Simply choose that option at checkout, and the Touch ID® or Face ID® necessary to complete the purchase will pop up on the phone.

3. Enjoy Entertainment Anywhere

iPhoneOnce both devices are logged in with your Apple ID, your library of music, podcasts, and other entertainment will be available on them through the same apps. Additionally, any new purchases or downloads made on one device using these apps will be available on the other. This feature comes in handy if one device isn’t available, but you want to access your Apple library for entertainment.

4. Share Instantly Between Devices

Files can be shared via AirDrop® to the computer from the phone with little effort, which is far more convenient than having to email and download them or deal with cords to transfer them. The iPhone can also be set up to have images in the Photos® app automatically sync to the Mac computer. Apple has created a universal clipboard, too, which allows you to copy something on the phone and paste it on the computer.
