This is a great question @Renglal Joute ! Thanks for asking.

For a good amount of people, I think the answer is yes. It's not a common thing to have people with Mac computers and Windows phone, especially if the former came first. They are probably a small minority. In fact, I'll say that it is probably more common for people to own a Mac computer and an iPhone together over the ones that don't.

Hmmm...food for thought!

I would say for continuum users yes.
The reason I used a windows phone in conjunction with a Windows PC were for device rollbacks and direct file downloads to desktop.
Other than above the phone by itself functioned quit well for most basic needs with mobile data.
