I’ll never forget a few months ago on Reddit I saw a dude comment the only reason so many teenagers have iPhones is because they usually don’t pay for it themselves, and they’re gonna switch to Android when they get older.

When people say make Mac like Windows 99.9% of the time they mean

1. Scrolling on a scroll wheel and trackpad in opposite independent directions

2. Window Snapping

Both of which are essential features to get if you’re coming from Windows.

My most used essential is BTT(BetterTouchTool).

It’s quite expensive. I think $20? But it comes with so many handy software features to make your Mac more like windows a few examples I personally use are

It can independently reverse the scrolling of a mouse wheel, so now the mouse wheel and track pad can scroll in opposite directions like windows.

It can turn the green button into a maximize window button

It can make a Ctrl+click on the red button a quit app button

It can create any type of track pad gesture. IE: 3 Finger swipe down to minimize or 3 Finger swipe right to snap right, etc

It enables window snapping just like windows so you drag a window to the side and it’ll snap there or drag a window to the top and it’ll maximize

It can make option+arrow key snap the current window to that side. Just like the windows key + arrow on windows.

1. This article and post has nothing to do with the App store “monopoly”.

2. Google paying to the default is not anti-competitive in any way. It’s a very typical deal brand. For example: Goodyear pays to be the tire of Nascar or Nathan’s pays to be the hotdog of the MLB. Google is just paying to be the search engine of Apple.

Hell, I’d even take it further argue what Google is even more obviously not anti-competitive because a user can straight up change their search engine, but you can’t to to a MLB game and find a Ballpark hotdog vendor.

I pray this doesn’t spread and come to the US, because this will 100% make my iPhone experience worse.

Google, Microsoft, and Facebook at minimum will want to have their own separate stores to avoid the Apple Tax. So that’s 3 new locations I’d have to manage installs and updates from. Nevermind the new risk factor for mom o dad not knowing if they’re installing the right app.
