@@josearaujo8616 I mean its understandable though. If you can present a monitor stand for a grand, people make fun of it but it still sells at the end why even bother?

It's a money making machine that's hard to mess up.

[@gingsSon]

@@Alias_Anybody Why do you say “locked” into the ecosystem? As someone who uses a lot of apple products and non-apple products, I see a clear distinction between the idea of being “locked” into the ecosystem, and actually just willingly choosing apple’s ecosystem since it is a much more elegant and seamless experience than the alternative. Edit: to be clear, from my vantage point, there isn’t a reason why I couldn’t just buy a non-apple product and use it to it’s fullest potential. It’s just that it is often more convenient to use apple’s alternative because they actually optimize for the user experience.

[@jaylenblount128]

@@gingsSon it’s not they we’re locked in the traditional sense. I’m fully in the ecosystem Apple Watch, M1 MBA, iPhone. The whole thing and when it comes time to upgrade my phone if I want to get anything other than another iPhone than my watch and laptop both lose a lot of their functions and become a lot less valuable so I’m kinda forced to just get the next iPhone. It’s a decision I’m fine making since I love apples products, but I am locked in a sense unless I’m willing to spend thousands on all new hardware. The simple way of thinking is I don’t want to connect my AirPods to an Android and I don’t want to buy new headphones so I just get the next iPhone.

Apple can also afford to spend a lot of time on developing these new features that have already been seen in the Android market because Apple's closed, unified ecosystem allows them to do so in the first place. They know most people won't leave the Apple ecosystem just for some new features on Android devices and so Apple can take it's time with these features without fear of too many people ditching Apple for Android.

As a developer myself, I strongly believe that the new "bleeding" cutting edge tech is what drives the software market in the first place! Apple uses other company's development to their full advantage by watching what new features are introduced and how well it is received. When something catches their interest and they perceive enough interest in the market for it... THEN they will spend the money to implement it using their ecosystem. It has certainly worked well for them! Personally, I'm too impatient and I love the one feature that Apple will not offer... development mode!

[@scottmilburn]

[@HC-kn2sq]

Couldn't agree more, I work in DevOps. The amount of start ups that do just one thing exceptional but not so we'll else where that are brought and told to just focus on one certain thing. This really drives innovation, while also creating massive corporations.

[@abhaymhatre8534]

Yes . What happens is that one company works on something for a few generations and keep perfecting it each year . And once it's perfect apple just picks it up and take all the credit . And people be like " AppLe aDDed iT aNd it's peRFect " and then those same people say trash about the company which actually brought the new feature , worked on it , perfected it . They say the company brought the product first time and it was not perfect , it lacked this and that . Like if it's the first time of some new tech then it's gonna have some flaws . After a few generations of improvements only it's going to be perfect. They don't understand that .

[@kato3000]

I can definitely understand this viewpoint. For me though, I barely even know what Google does. I do own an Galaxy Note 20 for work, but I seriously only use it for Slack. Nothing about it has made me want to switch. It is not a bad device at all, but I am just so locked into Apple that I do not care what anyone else has. Almost all of my tech devices are Apple or Apple Friendly, so when something new is introduced, even if others have it already, it still feels new to me. This is why I never understand the Google crowd who always scream "we've had that for ages." Great, but now I have it and I like it.

From a Pixel user (and former Nexus line), i do love how google pushes the envelope. The change to Pixel was a big step in making everything smoother, but the issue with silos for Google i think are that there are so many projects that there is sometimes a lack of cohesiveness and a duplication of services. This then results in projects getting dropped or stalling out. I do sometimes wish for more integration.

[@RamirezHD]

I have the Pixel too. Whole family use apple ecosystem. I think if Microsoft and Android would talk to each other more often and get on the same page, they would checkmate the landscape.

@TwinTurbo Ray I mean maybe... I got an S21 and have moved a lot of my stuff over from Google to Microsoft. I even use the Microsoft launcher. I don't really notice a ton of integration.

iMessages... We've been waiting for how long for a legit android alternative to iMessages, and it still isn't anywhere close to happening! Over the years Google has created and killed off countless chat/messaging apps, it's ridiculous. And Google actually moved further away from a unified messaging app when they killed off gchat/google voice integration. Just give us a nice unified messaging/chat app like iMessages!

[@SolomanTiger]

@@BrettTheNerdyEngineer switched from Pixel 3 to iPhone 12 Pro 5 months ago. iMessage is a literal dumpster fire. As long as everyone you know is an Apple user, it’s slightly better than sms on android. If you have to communicate with anyone outside the ecosystem it’s way worse which makes it jarring and frustrating to communicate with anyone. Apps like signal are light years ahead of iMessage. iMessage isn’t unified at all either, I guess unified if literally everyone you interface with uses iPhone. I spent 3.5 months not being able to respond to group messages or send pictures, apples response? Meh… I just get to wait and hope that a future update fixes that simple functionality. I can’t even send a gif to anyone, it just doesn’t work. All My Apple friends and the Apple store can do is just shrug and say “that’s weird” no fix. I start telling my Apple friends and their responses were in the ballpark of “yeah, there’s been years I couldn’t send group messages or photos, it happens”. Garbage, hot garbage. Can’t believe that I believed the lies

Hi Marques, thanks for your great video with this interesting topic! Since years I wanna get great new tech asap, but since I am an Apple customer I see they are very late but then their solution is mostly great. My personal example for that: I need a call filter because of too much issue with unwanted calls. Apple had no real solution for years. Rejection of calls with number suppression did not exist for years. We only got it with iOS 13, but in September 2021 we'll get Focus. That kind of profile control has been available for Android since years from third parties, but as a comprehensive solution it is better than ever before anywhere. I'm really looking forward to that! Also Live Text is a pretty cool and very useful feature!

Besides being "late to the game" for integration sake, Apple allows the Android market to validate features that are popular (e.g. larger phones). So Apple is using Android companies to do it's beta-testing or prototyping, and then adds its typical Apple flair and polish.

[@KenCheng]

[@imperes1547]

Of course, it's easier to piggy back, when u seen it before. For 200$ more it's seamless. Not worth it when u consider that u can make it seamless too on android for any google device. Developers out their have created software for any google product to seamlessly work and most of it is free. It dose take time for new features to be implemented but they don't for free, not like apple.

[@cr3atur321]

This is probably the most neutral and logical comment in this comment section, thank you. I'm team Samsung and even I think this is smart of Apple. I will never call them innovative because well, stealing ideas isn't innovative. But the ability to improve existing software without risking anything (because like you said, other companies do the "beta testing") is seriously impressive. Apple is definitely leaps ahead in integration and ecosystem strategy. I think it's pretty predatory since you literally can't leave the ecosystem once you're invested in it. But it's really damn smart, business wise.

[@AJ-vs3yz]

And it doesn't effect Android phones at all rather it helps them, so its a win - win, basically most of the android users would generally want more features and faster integration of those features rather than completely 100% polished features, of course this is not everybody but most, whereas most iPhone users would want less features if it means that the features they have are going to be completely integrated and fully polished and well built, so apple in a way helps android phones by not doing features quickly as that leaves the market open for android competitors whereas on the other hand android helps ios by integrating features before then which allows them to well utilise the information and the beta testing that android did to apples advantage.

You're missing the point, Google doesn't just roll out a feature if it isn't polished, Google Assistant, Google Camera, Pixel Launcher, Google Lens, all this innovation(if you want to consider it) everything has been stable since day 1. What Marques wants to point out is, Google doesn't have the ecosystem to see if their new features works with some other device or not, not right now, Apple can do that, but Apple think, wait, I have made a notification system which makes it possible for user to get only work related notifications for some time, but users don't only receive work related notifications on phone, they might get it on their PC as well, so wouldn't it be great that once a user activated this focus mode, it gets activated for all their devices or when deactivate gets deactivated for all devices so users don't have to go through the trouble of turning it on/off for all the devices individually, and they take that much more time to develop it for other devices as well, their whole ecosystem. And apple have that ecosystem lock in, that walled garden, the king of which is the iPhone to make this stuff possible and make it appealing to users to buy other Apple devices and further lock them in this ecosystem.
