That's the iphone. I believe Harb is talking about Mac desktop PCs, not the phones.
I thought a Mac is not a PC. Louis got even almost sued because he made a PC out of Macs by repairing them with jumper wires, as he says. Ridiculous.

I thought all Intel Macintoshes were IBM PC compatible. They just run a fancy version of BSD.

My main PC has run Win7 for about 4 years now. It has yet to slow down at all. My laptop is a different story, though, being similar spec and date, I can only assume the poor tiny 5400rpm drive is getting fragmented to hell with all the audio and video clips, large and small, going on and off it.
So what? every Unix keeps its performance over time. Only Windows introduces stupid wrapping layers over time.
Gee, nowadays we have Windows Store apps that writes in XAML and JS, compared with a real programming language for client computers.
Linux can be as efficient as macOS, on PC hardware, and ATM my home network and storage is handled by a 4th gen i3-U server with 4GB of RAM, which if I run Windows on it it will crap out immediately.
Its all hype......30 macs here none have "slowed down"..........Are you sure?

I've only had an Android phone, which I smashed, when I slipped on ice last winter and currently have some old iPhone, which was given to me by someone who was getting the latest model. I admit I do prefer the iOS, over Android, user interface wise. I find it more intuitive and the touch screen recognises my typing better, than the Android phone even though it's smaller.
Try Swiftkey if you don't like the keyboard. One plus for Android is that nobody telly you what app to use for anything. Choose yourself.
Swiftkey is the best keyboard app I could found. I tested many, 6+. Best predictions, customizations, comfort
I will admit that Apple's implementation of the on-screen keyboard works very well, better than a lot of Android handsets I've used. However I also find that with Android keyboards, it's very much manufacturer specific and how they implement the keyboard. Previously I had an LG and I would always hit the period button instead of the space bar.
I now have a Samsung Galaxy S8, which conveniently allows me to resize and reconfigure the keyboard to suit my hands/muscle memory or if I'm doing one-handed typing, something that I couldn't do on the LG.
But as I've said many times, my gripe isn't nesessarily with Apple's operating system and software. All that comes down to personal opinion. I can see why people like IOS/MacOS, but I can also sympathise with those that hate it. The two biggest issues are with the way Apple don't really give a shit about their users once they've bought the device and their hardware, which isn't that innovative and lately has been kind of rubbish. I can build a better quality PC which will outlast any Apple for cheaper.

Using a third party keyboard in iOS a good way of fixing that, but it is suprisingly painful. When you set a third party keyboard in Android, you tend to forget it's even a different keyboard. Only when you switch devices you remember to set the same third party keyboard for that same consistent experience. In iOS the default keyboard tends to switch itself back regularly and not always at predictable times and can be painfully slow to load in. It's certainly workable, but when it comes to keyboards Android seems to fare better. That's what I consider to be a seemless experience.
Yes. OSX is remarkably similar to NEXTstep in function too. They haven’t bothered to hide a lot of that.
Reports are that Apple fans are becoming weary of the expensive treadmill.
Top end phone sales are in a downturn in favor of more sensibly priced models.
