Maybe if you stay in the ecosystem. I used an end of 2013 Macbook Pro at work that was bought for a research project. Latest hardware at the time. Had all kinds of problems connecting it to my Android phone. Apple "just works" is a myth. I have had as many problems with Apple hardware as with most other hardware. The chances that some random device will "just work" is probably highest for Windows 10. I'm saying that as a Linux user (by choice) and sometimes forced Windows 10 and OSX user.
I also recall some issues when developing Arduino stuff because of the USB connection to the Arduino.
- rubicon33 6y agoDefinitely referring to "in ecosystem" here. If you want the best platform for connecting random vendors together, I would probably go with Windows/Microsoft. If you want the best platform for seamless vertical integration nothing is better than Apple. That's why people get so excited about new Apple products. It's a new shiny toy that they know will work excellently within their ecosystem.

I’ve have $10 Bluetooth earphones from CVS and Walgreens and have never had an issue using them with my iPhone or iMac. As long as the no-name stuff follows the specs, it just works in the Apple ecosystem.

Not to discount your experiences, but I use FreeBSD, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android devices, professionally and personally, and I don't have many problems getting these devices to talk to each other. >Had all kinds of problems connecting it to my Android phone. MacOS doesn't have native MTP support. You can use a third party tool on MacOS or an SMB client on Android.
