Not just that, but Apple has a brand to defend. In all their keynotes, maybe excluding the first iPhone, they don't even acknowledge other phones. You should buy the next iPhone because its better than the previous, not because its better than an android. And because of that stance, they spend zero effort in supporting other platforms. And apparently... That works just fine!
- 8fingerlouie 6y agoAs an old fart that has used just about every operating system out there since MS DOS 3.0, and has served my time for a couple of years as developer for a Linux distribution, I find Apple has a surprising ability to make things work. I switched to Macs with the Intel transition as I realized that the Linux on the (mainstream) desktop would be Macs and smartphones. I’ve never looked back. If you’re willing to live with the defaults, learn the new features, and stop trying to make the system behave like it “always has”, chances are it will treat you very well, but you have to be open to change. Yes it’s vendor lock in, but everything Apple integrates so tightly that even as I’m typing this message on my iPad, I can just press a button and have the unposted comment sent to my Mac to continue there. When you get used to it, other operating systems seems so simple. I use windows 10 at work, and it still amazes me that the last functional search bar in the launcher was in windows 95. Windows 10 has a nasty habit of replacing my (correctly spelled) search result with a link to edge / bing.
