2022 promises to be another big year for the Mac, with the second half of the Apple silicon transition bringing a new 27-inch iMac, Mac Pro, and a redesigned MacBook Air.

As much as we love our Macs, the iPhone has become our primary device throughout the day. So we’ve gotten used to the convenience it brings and find ourselves longing for many of its features when we turn to our Macs.
