The way I view the "Apple Ecosystem" is the convenience of having one account iCloud connected to all your devices, syncing data. It's definitely a plus, but nothing mind-blowing. Like yeah, you don't have to enter your iPhone's hotspot password on your Mac, but on my PC, I entered my Galaxy's password once, and it is saved in my WiFi networks. It's a tiny convenience, not a feature.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Good point. Many of the non-ecosystem alternatives are very well executed. Like multipoint connectivity on earbuds, etc

[@markdarc0448]

By definition convenience is features tho. Technically you can personally code and create anything. You can code and modify the hardware to make phone calls or you can have phone calls as a “feature”. There’s no single feature that isn’t just convenience, everything is possible with more steps if you really want to

EDIT: I will summarise this better. Apple has made it more annyoing to transfer a file from other devices rather than there own in order to keep you ignorant of the fact thats its very easy to do without all of Apples stuff. So this on Apple and thier Mac books. Think about it, Its easy to send files from one Android device to another. About the file transfer from android at around 3:46. Its even easier to transfer any file from you phone to any computer. Just connect you phone via the provided usb lead, simpy find the folder on your phone that conatins the file, then drag and drop it into the place you want on your PC, its dead easy. I can see that if you have been using an app on an Apple device that it seems harder, but is not. Its not hard to find the location of the file on your phone when it connected you your computer. Your phone does a good job of telling you what location ist stored in. The fact that the app is bad is not reflective of how much easier it is to trasnfer a file from your phone on Android to any PC. You could find another free app that would work an do the same job.

The Apple ecosystem is above anything available in the market today. Samsung isn’t at the same level. What Apple does right is that they deliver products that just work out of the box. No need to download apps or cables. Apple is simplified convenience. If you use Apple messaging,emails,files,notes ,photos and safari you can check them on any of your devices without having to download apps and logging in. It’s just an experience that you have to try to understand. I’m heavily in the ecosystem and my wife uses Samsung and she doesn’t understand why Samsung can’t catch up. The only thing you get with them is phones with good cameras after that you need a ton of apps and cables to do some of the things Apple can do out of the box.

[@timothylangin4095]

Android suffers from the same problem that windows does which is that it is developed as software separately from the company selling the device. Samsung doesn’t write android software, it uses software from google on its devices. While iOS on the other hand is coded by apple for apple devices. Which is why it think the apple ecosystem so seamless compared to other ecosystems as well as apple recognizing that people want their devices to work together.

I thought Graham Stephan changed his name and went into Apple videos from the thumbnail

I would definitely choose to use the Apple ecosystem if I had enough money and needed to replace a device. However, I often have to consider my budget, which leads me to a mix of devices from various brands. Currently, I use a Windows desktop, a Surface Pro 7, a MacBook Air, a Google Pixel 7 Pro, an airPod Pro, an iPad 10th generation, a pair of Sony headphones, and a Galaxy Watch 3. While it’s not a fully integrated setup, it allows me to balance functionality and affordability.

[@DustyKing]

iPhones and Google Pixels cost the same.

[@leohjames]

i have an ipad, iphone, apple watch, and airpods pro. I game a lot though so I have a desktop windows pc. I’ve used macs before but i just don’t get along with the software. Otherwise I have the Sony XM5 because i thought the airpods max looked too bulky and I just didn’t like the style. I’d say that I couldn’t imagine having a different phone, tablet, or smart watch, but equally I couldn’t imagine having a mac unless I get extremely rich and have it as a second device separate from my pc for photoshop and lightroom

[@DustyKing]

Try an Apple silicon Mac & you’ll enjoy. Also, Apple silicon Macs are cheaper, faster & better. Not to mention, windows laptops are super trash. 😊

[@leohjames]

@@DustyKing my main issues are the lack of compatibility for gaming on macs and my personal dislike for the software so i don’t know what that would fix. People can have their preferences, might not be your opinion but it’s mine

[@AM4K418]

cant you share audio with beats buds?

[@theoldrook]

Well you earned a like for a fridge full of Guinness and Yuengling 👌

iPhone 15 pro max, 13” iPad Pro M4, 14” MacBook Pro with the M3 pro chip, AirPods Pro, Apple TV 4K… my Apple Watch gen 4 recently bit the dust and I’m waiting for the new ones to be announced Monday before I get a new one. Apple ecosystem is just prime time. I still like having a desktop pc for gaming, but everything else is so much better on Mac. Also, every windows laptop has garbage battery life compared to MacBook. I just love Apple. They can be anti consumer sometimes but their products are amazing. The ONLY Apple product I absolutely HATE is the stupid Magic Mouse lol. That thing is too thin, my hand cramps within 5 minutes of using it, and you just can’t beat having an actual right click on a physical mouse.

[@fredrickbambino]

i can never get used to mac OS windows is just so much better i have an iphone, ipad, and apple watch, but i don’t think ill ever get a mac

[@DustyKing]

Windows laptops are way too overpriced, have so many limitations & have bad display qualities.

[@fredrickbambino]

@@DustyKing how can you say that when apple charges $200 to go from 8gb to 16gb ram Overpriced my ass And the Macs just got an OLED upgrade when windows had it for years? Keep making yourself believe that…

[@DustyKing]

@@fredrickbambino Did Windows laptops OLED displays had a 1,600 nits of brightness, 120hz Promotion with a 4K display? No

[@DustyKing]

@@fredrickbambino Just buy an Apple silicon MacBook which is cheaper, faster & better than overpriced limited windows crap laptop. Go watch Max Tech Apple silicon MacBooks vs more expensive windows laptops comparison & then talk. Windows laptops are nowhere near Apple silicon MacBooks in performance, battery life & efficiency. Also, Find me a Windows laptop that has 22 plus hours of battery life, has the performance of M3 Pro/Max chip, has full performance on battery, has a 4K 1,600 nits 120hz mini-LED 16-inch display, doesn't lose performance when unplugged, fans are always quiet, efficient processor, made of aluminum, has Ray Tracing, supports up to 128GB RAM with 8TB SSD, has loudspeakers with a great webcam, top-notch trackpad, have a biometric, top built quality display, has a thin premium design, has thin bezels & doesn’t need a separate power brick/charges with a USB-C. 😁😁😁😁

[@DustyKing]

@@fredrickbambino Also, I have owned the Dell XPS 60hz 17 laptop for 5 months back in 2022 & sold it. Windows laptops are way too limited & my Dell costed me over $3K. I am an unbiased tech guy, but windows laptops are super trash.

I switched from Samsung to apple like 2 years ago and I can say I ain’t going back, it’s way faster and convenient the way their work with their own products

[@Kevdog1920]

Great comparison to all apple devices, I agree with everything

[@zacharysheetz9522]

You can also connect multiple beats devices to an iPhone or iPad it doesn’t just have to be air pods

[@derbdep]

I used to work with/for Apple once upon a time. originally I was on the Apple ecosystem in Japan and the UK and had to switch to Android plus Windows when I moved to the Philippines. I got used to the handoff between android and windows in general and had to move back onto the apple ecosystem (primarily for work), but you really do miss out on most of the soft features available in those primary markets, making it somewhat useless here, unless you’re using it for work. I’d say if you’re living in a country which isn’t prioritized by Apple, it’s better to use Android + Windows, unless you absolutely have to use iOS or macOS for work purposes. Where are Apple’s primary markets? Wherever they have official Apple stores (NOT their official resellers): the US and other Western countries, China, Singapore, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, and the UAE. If you’re anywhere else? Android and Windows for a non work ecosystem.

[@DustyKing]

Android phones are really bad & are made to be obsolete on purpose & windows laptops are not that good.

[@ZeAbhinav]

​@@DustyKingTry buying a Windows PC or Android phone that costs as much as an iPhone or a MacBook, and you'll see how similar (perhaps better) those two devices are. It depends on what you expect from your device.

[@DustyKing]

@@ZeAbhinav s23u cost the same as the iPhone 15 Pro Max. iPhone 15 Pro Max has better battery life, way way better performance, better app optimization, gets way more years of software support, has MagSafe wireless charging, has a way better ecosystem support, iPhone supports the best smartwatch in the market, has dynamic island, has exclusive apps, iPhones have better all-around cameras, Samsung emojis are very poor, the video quality on the iPhone is way better, iPhone 15 Pro/Max has iMessage & can communicate with friends way better, iPhones have Apple Arcade, has so many features & iPhones have way way better resale value. iPhones 14/15 Series have Satellite Emergency SOS. iPhone 15 Pro/Max has an A17 Pro chip, has Raytracing technology, is way better at gaming, has an action button, has secure Face ID, is made of premium Titanium, has a 3NM processor, it has 10GB/S transfer speeds / double the transfer speed compared to the s23u, has 2000 nits display & has a better display. S23u costs over $1,200 & still doesn’t have symmetrical bezels in 2023 💀. Also, the iPhone 15 Pro/Max is getting triple-A games & nothing for android. Android phones suck at gaming. Sorry if you bought an overpriced s23u garbage. Enjoy your shutter lag on your $1200 phone 😬😬😬. Not to mention, the iPhone has Retro Bowl game. 2018 iPhones got iOS 17. Now name me an android from 2018 or 2019 or even 2020 that is getting Major software updates in 2024… there aren’t any 😂😂😂😂😂 Oh wait, you can’t cause overpriced android products are made to be obsolete. 2018 iPhone XR $750 phone got iOS 17. 2020 $1,400 Samsung s20 stopped getting software updates & is not getting android 14/samsung oneIU 6. 😁😁😁😁🐐

All the money i wasted on samsung stuff. I bought samsung because it was better phone. Looks like i cheated my self. Look like this indiscreet advertising for apply. I can connect 2 sets off ear buds to my phone so me and my wife can listen to same movie. This guy says only iphone can do that he wrong but he knows he wrong. This is advert for apple . Take it with pinch of salt folks
