Even transfer the call to the iPhone as you head out the door. When your iPhone rings you can see who’s calling on your Mac, and answer the call using the Mac as a speakerphone. Even better, it can make phone calls as well. Your Mac can send and receive texts from any mobile phone (even non-iPhones). You can start an email on the iPhone and finish it on the computer, view a web page in Safari or a location in Apple Maps on the Mac and hand off to the iPhone, or use the iPhone’s internet on your laptop when you’re in a place without wi-fi. Modern OS X and iOS make your Mac and iPhone & iPad work better together.
