Windows boots pretty fast. MacOS and iOS are dog slow and take well over a minute (dunno about M1).


iOS: booting iOS is pretty much moot since this is in fact for devices that remain on most of the time for weeks until the next upgrade.


Same with macOS for that matter. Still, it’s curious that Apple is quite behind other OSes concerning boot time. I almost never restart windows either, but when I need to (usually because waking up is still a hit or miss) it’s super fast.
