I don't recall which WWDC it was.. They had a slide with the largest text they ever used.

The question was "will ipadOS and macOS merge?

"NO"

Found it.

it was iOS and macOS but still...

For a phone, you really do want a different interface. (unless you're tethering it) That's much more justifiable.

Because that would either mean locking down MacOS or opening up iOS. Apple would love to lock down MacOS, but it'd be incredibly bad press to admit to that publicly.

>a simple and consistent experience

Has that not been Apple's entire marketing thrust since 1984?

It's fine that Apple wants to ship with those bits unflipped. What's unreasonable is that Apple stops you from flipping them.
