What Is the 'Special Appeal' of Apple Products?
- taylodl 9y agoHassle-free computing. That's the appeal - all of the power and functionality with none of the hassles. * Not forced to upgrade * Yet can upgrade when I want to * Don't have the antivirus crap to contend with * Don't have a bunch of trial ware installed * You can reasonably expect an 7-10 year lifespan with performance being just like the day you first brought it home * Time capsule * Time capsule + migration assistant means I now have a computing environment spanning over a decade. And it works as well as it did on day one. * Keychain. Add it to iCloud and password management is a thing of the past. * Effortless photo/music syncing amongst myriad of devices. * Logic Pro/GarageBand. Great for amateur musicians and much cheaper than what's available on Windows for the same features. * Unix. Home-brew is a great package manager. Obviously these don't apply to everyone. But these are the reasons I like MacBooks and iPhones. Other people love their Android phones and Windows machines. C'est la vie.
