I can download email significantly faster on my iPhone or iPod Touch 6 than I can on my Windows 10 64 bit laptop running Outlook 2016. Plus, the threading on the Apple devices is so far superior than with Outlook, I can manage hundreds of emails far easier on the Apple devices. The use of threading is also why I ask people to start a new thread when they want to change topics in a thread. Like the thread that started out about getting pictures off an iPad mini, than soon became a thread about handling emails on computers VS iPhones. Once I decide I'm done with a thread, I stop opening the individual messages and just delete the thread. Or, when it is clear that a thread has been taken off topic, I just delete the thread. Saves tons of time. And, while offices are not going to stop using computers, I use my iPhone a ton when I'm out of the office to update my calendar, write up reports, etc. Then when I get back to the office, I can get my work done very quickly. I could go on and on, but won't. For some, the iPhone iPod, iPad are a secondary device, but for me it is equal if not a little ahead of the computer. I will always turn to the computer for audio editing, but almost everything else, I can do as effectively on my Apple devices. Richard
