Interoperability

Switching to a Mac often revolves around Apple’s services between devices. So you take a picture on you phone and if you use Apple’s iCloud service those pictures will be available to view on your other devices. You make a document and can access that document on your other devices or on iCloud.com. Contacts, synced; Messages, synced. If you use an AppleTV you can also see your photo library right on your TV making it easy to showcase for family and freinds.
