Mac never had a 30-pin adapter, so lightning makes no sense. Mac also had Thunderbolt 2 with the miniDP port, and switched to Thunderbolt 3 with a USB-C port.

This is because ICOCA/PASMO/Suica use FeliCa rather than NFC for data. All iPhones have both FeliCa and NFC. Only Japanese Android phones would bother added FeliCa.

Unless you're accustomed to them being on the left, in which being on the right is the weird thing. Red means stop, yellow means slow/yield, green means go, which in the context of window management doesn't make sense, but if

I love what the company is doing and I really want to support their business, but I just can't get away from macOS. Hackintoshes aren't super viable anymore, so I have a pie-in-the-sky hope that there will be a viable general arm6

I can set an alarm for my washing machine while walking up the stairs on my smartwatch. Just makes routines easier.
