doodle967Why you like Apple?
Integration with their other products. And I’m too old to enjoy fiddling with stuff anymore.
CaptainEffortThe first time I copied something on my phone and then seamlessly pasted it on my laptop, I was pretty blown away. The integration is a major perk.
But try copying from Apple to Windows
Why would I
If you already have window and you buy an apple product.
It was a nightmare getting music on and off an iPod using windows.
Does android has this copy paste function on windows? (Never owned a android phone, serious question)
On android I can connect via USB and just drag the music onto the device.
I couldn’t do this when I had an iPod. I had to go through iTunes and that had to sync before I could do anything.
See that’s not what we’re talking about here. what’s cool in the apple ecosystem is I can copy something on my iPhone to the clipboard and then press cmd-v on my Mac to paste it (Or visa versa). It’s these little continuity things in the ecosystem apple haters don’t even know about I think. Another example, if I place my iPad next to my Mac I can push my mouse cursor of the screen onto the iPad, grab a file, drag it back to my Mac. Wirelessly.
Sounds cool, but not enough to get me to buy a macbook and iphone (I’m assuming it doesn’t work with android).
Oh no I get that, it’s definitely a nice-to-have not a must-have. And it’s those little things I personally am willing to pay a premium price for. It just negates the argument of “doesn’t work with windows, I don’t like apple”. No it doesn’t but then again android doesn’t do this either.
Apparently the described functionality is possible but not out of the box (nor probably securely).
How To Sync Clipboard Between Android and Windows
But the list goes on: www.apple.com/macos/continuity/ and you can probably do many of those things, but the smoothness and how it all just “magically” works I’ve never experienced on other OSes. But then again, is it worth the premium price? Probably not for most people. Also, you can’t miss something you never had. But if you ever experienced it, you will feel you are stepping down if you leave the ecosystem.
If the smoothness included my existing hardware then I would probably pay for the premium experience.
