Why you like Apple?

What made you choose Apple?

Integration with their other products. And I’m too old to enjoy fiddling with stuff anymore.
The 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.

By the way, I am an apple hater because I tried apple after years of using Linux and it was a true mess. Here’s a story: I had to make an app building CICD pipeline and guess what? We had to run a macbook as a server because they fucking cannot share at least a VM for building. A CLI command brought up a GUI confirmation. How should I automate something that brings up a GUI. Garbage. Package management is horrible. Command line utilities was outdated. Case insensitive filesystem. Then Ruby…

And it’s not enough that they are shit, but they are actively holding back innovation. They held back PWAs for example. And they shit on open-source. They are the definition of vendor lock-in.

They look good though.

See that’s fair criticism and I understand where your frustration comes from. That indeed sounds like a oversight.
