Why buy apple then?

• OtterGauze 6y ago
  I'm a diehard Android user, but you cant deny the benefits of Apple's tightknit ecosystem. Apple is a very "my way or the highway" in their approach to software design. This doesn't really matter to Apple as a company because an overwhelming majority of their customers wont know or care about this controversy or limitation and will continue to use the apps Apple allows and only those.

  For me back when I had time as a kid I loved tinkering. Now it's work. The less time I spend on my screen/dealing with tech the happier I am. I'm big on convenience, and also don't do such specific stuff where I need a windows setup. I've had my macbook since 2015 and it hasn't died on me yet or had a single problem and still runs blender and vim and whatever else just fine. The $2k I spent on it 5 years ago is already back in my pocket just by not wasting time on anything. Something like text syncing between my phone and computer is huge. I type much faster at my PC and its easier to navigate, so as a result I pretty much never use my phone. All I want are some photos, text sync, and access to good apps. If I ever get a new phone I just find the cheapest iphone 7 or 8 via orchard instead of dropping 1-1.5k on a 'new iphone'. Everything works perfectly on my 7, still buttery smooth.
