I prefer iPhones because Apple products are like automatic transmission: they just work. However, I prefer (Windows) PC's because they are like manual transmission: I have more control. Of course, PC's seem to be more cost-effective (for a personal machine for someone who likes tinkering with computers). There seem to be more software options, too. There are a few MacOS programs I wish I could use though, like: TaskPaper and nvAlt. --- One of my friends wanted to use Linux for work, but had to use MacOS because it was impossible to get audio/video working for video chat. (I heard Linux audio/video support has gotten better recently.) Apple products "just working" might be another reason they are popular tech worker daily drivers (although I've heard it's gone downhill recently). The extra cost may be justified by the time saved not having to fiddle with your laptop to get it working. A tech worker probably costs more than $100/hr, so you would reach positive ROI within a few hours of not messing with the laptop.
