Never had anything but iPhones as far back is I remember. Of course I had a cell phone (as they were called) before the introduction of the iPhone but I don't know what it was.

AFA iPhones and the OS compared to the MacBook I just bought, I don't see any similarities in basic functions. IOW, having an iPhone for years did not help me one iota with the MB. iPhone keypad is straight forward with no use of Mac knowledge needed to operate. The enter button on the iPhone does say "return" if that is significant. It's not to me as it's in the same position. I really can't compare the 2 phones side by side since I've never had a true Android.

I will say that keypad gestures are easier to master on the iPhone as opposed to the MacBook. I doubt I will ever have the dexterity for the full function of the MB with old hands that suffered manual labor for all my life. About as dainty as I can get is tying a shoelace.
