why I regret switching to apple ecosystem

[@grimey78]

It feels like the more i own the more it takes to maintain the ecosystem. IOS is so limiting i find myself troubleshooting a new issue for hours everyday figuring out how to get my workflow back in order. my final straw was trying to upgrade my 2017 ipad to a series 10 for drawing just to hate it 15 minutes out the box. when it comes to my ipad mac book and iphone they all feel frustrating to use and bound by their limitations. i find more problems than solutions with every new product i get.

Really good editing mate, good talking points, you've got a lot better with creating a narrative and developing it.

[@Mokhalbous]

Thanks a lot for the feedback brother that made my day!

@@Mokhalbousand because of your efforts; i got your video from youtube recommend and thus i subbed to ya!

Thank you so much brother that's very kind of you and it means a lot! :)

Yeah I see those tik toks a lot, buying an I pad will make grades better. However, all you need to do for most school subjects and some uni courses is notes, u can do that on a chromebook. I'm a student and the only reason I buy Apple products is longevity, they just last and last and last. My I pad air3 which is my first Apple product I got in 2019 is still going strong 4 years later with a 5 year old chip. And the rest of my Apple ecosystem should last me another 5 to 7 years. I still have windows and chromebooks and an Android phone because I'm more of an Android guy but they just don't last as long as I would like them to.

[@Mokhalbous]

Exactly! To succeed in school you really don't need much and it is all about your work ethics. Sure they will make your life a bit easier and make you a bit faster but they won't change who you are. Agree with you, apple products last much longer but I am hoping android will be the same soon

[@samueltremblay275]

Samsung do the same recently with new series where they say they will support them for at least 5 years. This is true at least since Samsung galaxy S22 and up@@Mokhalbous

[@callmeNeno]

I don't regret being Apple ecosystem. I actually has enhanced my life with its simplicity and it just works.

[@Mokhalbous]

I agree me too! but the question is, how do you not know if other ecosystems won't do the same if not better? have you experimented with anything else other than apple?

[@callmeNeno]

@@Mokhalbous yes sir, my last android phone was Samsung Galaxy 6 edge I was a big Samsung guy and Microsoft until they killed their phones. I build my own gaming pcs . I switched to iPhone 6s Plus as an experiment and never went back. Apple ecosystem is impeccable and stable operating system MacOS is outstanding.

[@Mokhalbous]

agree I have a similar story too you just can't come back!

[@Heiliux]

​@callmeNeno not disagreeing with your point, though samsung has come a long way since that phone, I used to heavily rock the note lineup, the s23 ultra is a marvel of a phone and samsung have introduced similar features to apple like the share ability and more (and Google is natively building the feature now to share with any android and not just samsung/google), the downside is their laptops as they aren't as powerful or battery efficient as the macbooks and there are subtle little things I enjoy with ios

[@MockupConcepts]

very good video!! im thinking of switching to Apple's ecosystem but you brought up a very good point i never thought about much before :)

[@Mokhalbous]

Thank you I appreciate that a lot :) I didn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t switch if you think it will make your life easier because I certainly did. I just meant to be mindful about the decision and to make sure it’s worth it and that you think you deserve it👍

[@Heiliux]

In that same boat, I have an iPhone and a macbook due to the nature of my work but I also have a fold 4 because I love galaxy phone I want to invest more into an ecosystem but I'm torn. Do I go with reliability and efficiency of apple with the fact apps are more optimised and have a better experience but in the end its boring, or do I got with the thrill of having a watch that I can always change a watchface to my suiting and a 14 inch tablet I can do much more on then an ipad?

[@Mokhalbous]

I think if the new watch or iPad that you want to buy are for work then stick with apple but if they are just for personal use then I think you should stick with Samsung since you enjoy their products and find them fun. Hope that helps!

[@doboy930]

U can change apple watch faces

[@breechcomet9724]

great video🔥 don't forget us when u get famous bro.😂

[@Mokhalbous]

Thanks a lot!! No I would never man 😂🤝

[@balqaasem]

I’m planning to leave because it is suffocating to be limited to iCloud backup, limited to only App Store Apps, limited to only iOS and its synced OSs. I’ll go to the Samsung ecosystem Insha’Allah

[@Mokhalbous]

Inshallah brother

[@theboywholovedkappapuzhukk]

Another problem is that you are never satisfied with what you have. Today iPhone 15 series launched. And anyone who does have 13 or lower models (14 in some cases) will be having a strong fear of missing out and they will be trying their best to upgrade to the latest iPhone. All for what? Doom scrolling Twitter & Instagram? How productive can you be using those "latest" devices comapred to what you have? I believe a phone can easily be used for 4-5 years unless there is a physical damage.

[@Mokhalbous]

That's very true and exactly what I was trying to say. I would say even if you have the 12 or 11 series you probably won't notice that big of a difference and it is probably not worth upgrading. A lot of people fall into this trap because of how strong apple marketing is

[@queasycarboy508]

I agree too. When i had an iphone i was never satisfied. But now with my transition to android stuff, i cant say the same.

[@Mokhalbous]

@@queasycarboy508 glad that you found something you liked man!

[@samueltremblay275]

I would say this is true for any other devices. I used Samsung in the last 10 years and I switched my phone every year. Each time Samsung release a new phone, I'm not able to stop telling myself that I will enjoy faster applications, better screen, etc... So the problem is not the device itself. The problem is human not able to say no to a beautiful thing and the absolutely sexy mastermind campaigns Apple do to convince you that you need their devices. Samsung campaigns are way less sexier so this help a lot to stay with your old device.

[@Mr.Coffee576]

3:41 true. I fell into that trap.

[@Mokhalbous]

We all do, but it's great that some people like you are brave enough to admit it and act upon

[@samueltremblay275]

This remind me this statement: "Microsoft tries to find unrealized pockets of revenue and then decides what to make. Apple is just the opposite: it thinks of great products, then sells them. Prototypes and demos always come before spreadsheets." So, if the objective of Apple is to sell great products, their objective is always to sell more. So, they try hard to convince you that what you have after a certain moment should be upgrade which create an infinite loop. But I think you could also say like you said: Is Apple or you the problem? Apple don't forces you to buy their product. It's you that are boring and convince yourself that you will be happier, more productive with their products. You can spend of lot of money in non-Apple devices too. But the ecosystem give a great edge to Apple because if you are able to access your notes from Apple notes immediately without effort after buying an iPad if you already own a Mac, it could be psychologically easier to fall in the trap of: I really NEED this ipad. I spent too much money in the recent years buying and then selling Apple products each telling to myself: I will be a better money manager the next time. But Apple are master of emotional purchases so they catch me everything. This is exactly like you said: You have to ask you the question: Does this product will really improve my life? If yes, can I afford it (this is my question :) ) Thanks for sharing this nice video!

[@Mokhalbous]

You described exactly what I was thinking about. It's quite a complicated psychological issue that Apple was able to take advantage of it. I don't think we should be blaming companies as you said. It's our decisions at the end of the day. Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts, it really means a lot to me :)

[@clinteastwood8222]

The reason I stick with Apple is Steve Jobs legacy is that the customer doesn’t become the product! I believe Tim Cook has done a great job in making that legacy still the strong back bone of Apple products and keeping us the customers privacy private. No other company does this it sets Apple apart. I enjoyed your video 😊

[@Mokhalbous]

I totally agree! And I am hoping that Tim Cook and whoever comes next will keep this legacy and make sure that we don’t become the product. Thanks a lot I am very glad you did :)

Pretty stupid reason Same thing every year Better camera higher price

[@samueltremblay275]

I recently saw a major flaw of security in Samsung Galaxy S23 series and it took a couple of weeks before receiving a patch. Last year, I received an email indicating Samsung leak my personal information because of a third-party. Never experienced something like that with Apple.

If HTC was still out I would buy that phone instead of Apple. I had HTC, then Samsung S3, then I switched to the LG3. I was due for an upgrade and since all my family member has Apple I decided to go with Apple. I miss the customization with Android. Rooting my phone to play with other OS.

[@batmanatkinson1188]

I kind of miss HTC, they were unique 🥺
