Should i buy an iphone along with a mac book?

I just turned 18 and i'm heading out for college therefore my dad thinks its necessary for me to get a laptop for projects n **** … After a long discussion we decided that the macbook would be perfect for me… I was wondering if i should buy an iphone along with it? I have a samsung phone with me at the moment and i was thinking it won't be that compatible with the macbook since it isn't an apple product… So do i have to buy an iphone?

Don't know

You don't have to buy an iphone. Samsung is perfectly fine. You can access it from your apple computer if you connect the devices with a cable. Apple on the other hand can control the mac if you download certain applications, it can use icloud to exchange files with your computer and to back up, sync itunes/photos etc more easily.

I'm using an iphone now because I can't find Samsung in Japan but I think Samsung is a thousand times better x-x despite the perks that you get with macbook compatibility.

Yes, get an iphone, assuming that it will be synched up with your MacBook in a similar way that iphone and ipad work together. Your iphone becomes a smaller version of your computer so you can pull it out to take a random note about something at school, check your schedule and do a lot of things without pulling out your laptop. It will make your life a lot easier.
