    The Apple fans are going to go though denial followed by some sort of justification to buy more Apple hardware.

    The problem with Apple is they make it really hard to switch to anything else.

      How so? Do they hold a gun to your head whenever you go shopping?

      Transitioning from Android to IPhone, is also a bitch. I had the opportunity to buy a basically new ~1k+ iPhone for $200 and just completely passed the offer because between migrating play stuff and learning apple how to be stuck in apple was just not worth it.

        Android is a OS with several phone brands. IPhone is a phone, a single phone, with a single OS that works with it, iOS.

        It is expected that swapping OS is a pain, what’s not expected is that the whole ecosystem of all apple machines use an isolated software too.

        The difference is, if you have an iPhone and want to buy a smartwatch/earbuds you will likely pick Apple made ones, as they are artificially made better than the competition.

        While on Android you can pick from a bunch of different companies without any real downsides, and when you want to switch to a different phone (e.g from a Samsung to a Pixel) you won’t need to switch your smartwatch or earbuds.

          I am guessing the watch won’t, but surely you can use the Iphone earbuds with any other phone, no?

          I guess my point is my wife has Iphone, I don’t. It would be way easier for her to come back to android, then for me to go to apple, I would have to buy so many cords and peripheral stuff. The only thing that probably wouldn’t work is the watch she complains about anyway if she came back.

            You can use AirPods on Android, but you will lose certain basic features, like software updates, equalizer, changing controls, and more. Not to mention that for a long while you would also be stuck with one different cable to charge this one accessory. It all adds up

        Why did you ask the first question if you yourself believe buying Apple means being stuck?

      The fcc DOJ is actually launching a lawsuit into Apple’s walled garden

      UPDATE: Thanks for the correction
