[@friendlybane]

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”.

[@beaksaver5361]

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.

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.

Not to hate any company here, but Apple always had the vision to have a separate ecosystem from the first iPhone, if I remember correctly. Not including Bluetooth for file transfer and opting for the Lightning port for so many years until the EU made it mandatory to use USB. I remember the old days when people had Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones and could share all the stuff they wanted wirelessly. Connecting to computers was never a hassle either. For music, you had the headphone jack that worked with any brand. I don't understand why this ideology of having a market where devices connect to each other has been ignored for the sake of "ecosystems". Samsung seems to be moving in this direction lately, and has received a lot of negative criticism as a result.

Suddenly I started seeing benefits of the Apple Ecosystem. Then to help with some health issues I thought I'd try a Apple Watch, dam the Apple Ecosystem is getting better and better. With the Apple Ecosystem both my Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, Airpods and just talk to each other make phone calls answerable on any of the devices, pass files, use iPhone camera on any of the devices and I didn't have to do anything it just works. Have to say I stayed away from the Apple Ecosystem at first thinking it was just a gimmick, but once I had two Apple devices I started getting hooked on the Apple Ecosystem. Now the Android and Google world has an ecosystem, but because you start getting into multiple vendors it isn't as smooth experience as Apples.

All the cards and software worked fine. He eventually upgraded the PC and made it a Hackintosh and kept going. So he got more years of use from his investment, before finally deciding to get a new Mac and the new Avid cards.

how tf did your airpods end up in the freezer lol

[@gladesucks7907]

I know android is starting to do things similarly, especially Samsung, but the reason I stay on iPhone is because nobody is nearly as seamless with connecting literally everything I own together. Samsung isn’t bad by any means, they’re just one step behind when it comes to this That being said, my god the Magic Mouse is absolutely terrible

[@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.

[@riyanwhyte8365]

Bro you knew we’d ask you to do Samsung next right?

[@rdp6096]

I hate how seamless everything is lol. It made me start using apple products but i still love my android and windows

[@beaksaver5361]

If find it just as semless for any device, i dont see a difference here. Apple make it look more semless, when really its the same. When switching to a new device you just easly re-download your apps and if you use any of thioe pasword mangers you, if Apple lets you on their devices that is, you can sign into your apps and accounts and so forth. your Phone is the same with just having to put your sim card in the new phone as and easy extra step.

Apple

[@fracturedmind8124]

I’ve been using an iPhone since the 4. The iPad since the Mini 2. Apple Watch since the Series 3. I’ve been within the Apple ecosystem for a long time. Currently own an iPhone 15 Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 2, iPad Pro, Apple TV 4K, and also own AirPods and use AirTags. The only thing I don’t own is a Mac. I know it is fundamental to the ecosystem, but god I can’t stand macOS. My mom has a MacBook Air and it was just frustrating to use. I’ve been using Windows since XP and I’m just so used to it. I also mainly use my computer to game, and a few games I play aren’t compatible on macOS. But Apples ecosystem is very tightly integrated. But also so is Samsungs. My husband is in the Samsung ecosystem and it works great as well. But the thing Apple does is has a lot of features that you can’t get on Android, in some cases keeping people trapped in the ecosystem. My advice is, find the ecosystem you like and stick with it.

[@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.

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. 😁😁😁😁🐐

@@ZeAbhinav Just buy an Apple silicon MacBook which is cheaper, faster & better than windows 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]

@@ZeAbhinav iMac starts at $1,300 & maxes out at $2,500 whereas windows desktop with similar specs and performance costs way more than the iMac. ​​⁠Bro, try finding me a windows desktop for $2,000 that has the performance of the M3 chip, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 4.5K resolution display, 600 plus nits of brightness, made of premium aluminum, is super thin, has built in loudspeakers & has a 1080p webcam. 😁

Bro your journal ✨what the brand is it

[@jsonthefallen5218]

The thing is, is not an ecosystem, is THE ECOSYSTEM! The easiest of the examples is the AirPods, yes I love my Raycon, I also love my Sony headset with noise canceling… buuuut.. no other headphones will switch immediately to the device that’s reproducing the sound, is so efficient and smooth is hard to pass out on the feature

[@lisadefries6718]

I have a Fitbit does that count 😂 I did try Apple Watch first gen but it wasnt for me felt too heavy etc and after few months seemed to make my wrist skin itchy and red probably because I wearing it too tight (although I did keep it clean)everything else is apple. iPad Pro, phone and now airpods………..its just one less hassle everything works with everything else and the interface is second to none…..although if I am being picky I would say since Steve Jobs went to his fluffy cloud up there its not quite as slick visually possibly a little too busy less minimalist. But still works for me. Considering getting an imac 24 on discount with M1 chip as its £600 less for same spec just slower chip.

They should add a smart ring and a homepod with a screen for photo's like the one that google made.

[@brucelin5842]

U mean the nest hub? Is it worth buying?

[@dirkvanturennout9698]

The Nest hub is definitely worth buying. 1. There is no cheaper and better digital photo frame. 2. Also works with Apple music. 3. Very easy to set multiple timers, you can see count down on the screen. 4. Has almost all the functions that the apple homepod has.@@brucelin5842

[@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
