Well, it would obviously result in fewer Mac sales. Because people could use their iPhone (or iPad, or Vision Pro) as a Mac. So it would be good for iPhone owners, who don't need to buy a Mac, but bad for Apple.

I’m super doubtful it would be that impactful. Also, switching Mac sales to Vision Pro sales probably works well for Apple in the long run.

>90% of actual or potential Mac users likely have an iPhone. If a substantial fraction of them can replace their Mac with the iPhone they already have, the negative impact on the Mac market would be huge.
