The idea of turning the iPhone into a wearable computing center thanks to the flexibility of connecting external devices and the adaptation of the input/output under the available resources has the right to exist. At a certain technological level, the emergence of a “Swiss knife” of different devices seems to be predefined – even 10-15 years ago, mobile phones capable to play MP3 and videos, and especially equipped with a digital 20 megapixel cameras seemed to be fantastic.

You can start writing an email, edit a document or surf the Internet on the iPhone, and then continue on your iMac or MacBook Pro from the same place. In these circumstances, to transfer a full desktop OS on the iPhone is impractical.
