Software applications originally designed for Apple’s mobile operating system can now operate on macOS. This functionality allows users to access a wider range of software, previously limited to iPhones and iPads, directly on desktop and laptop computers running macOS. An example includes a mobile game or productivity tool initially created for iOS that can be installed and run on a Mac.
The ability to utilize mobile software on a desktop environment offers multiple advantages. It expands the software ecosystem available to Mac users, providing access to unique applications not traditionally found on macOS. Furthermore, this integration can improve user workflow and productivity by enabling seamless transitions between mobile and desktop devices. The introduction of this capability marks a significant evolution in the convergence of mobile and desktop computing platforms.
