macOS 10.13 and iOS 11 System requirement predictions

• You know people don’t mean it literally when they say “everyone on earth”?

• The poorest people don’t afford a computer either, so why discuss them? We were talking about computers vs smartphones.

• If you go to Brazil, China etc you will se smartphones Everywhere. Computers, not so much. (Samsung is killing it in Brazil)

I consider everyone that need or wish and can have a smartphone - will be our universe. I know many poor people, they have PCs and old smartphones, and sometimes they don't have a washing machine! In Brazil (where I live) not only Samsung, by Motorola and LG has good sales. There was a lot of "other brands" but people are considering a good used device instead of bad new cheap that won't last nor run a fine Android version. Personally, I might change My 4s for a 5s or change to a Motorola + iPad2 (not leaving iOS but considering the budget and benefits)

I have installed Mac OS and Windows. In my experience, the basic requirements for any new OS is...

• SSD
• Fast 4GB RAM

The rest are details. Ironically, I could manage Windows 10 to run properly in some old slow machines, as a Dell i3 notebook with legacy HDD, but I still can't do it in Mac OS El Capitan that I use everyday.

For smartphones, usually the requirements are...

• Latest or previous model (iPhone 6 or 7)
• Not the cheapest option

Out of these minimum specs, life will be hard, it will always take some time to do even simple things (as to make a call), need frequent interventions (close apps or process), need maintenance apps and a lot of patience!

I got my MacPro DuoQuadCore 2008 El Capitan (10gigs) to run Win10 wt/VMware 8.5.7 (4cores/5gig) setting. Runs slow but does run.
