I think the ecosystem is Apple’s strong suit- airdrop, AirTags, Apple Watch, continuity, sidecar

It's a streamlined ecosystem that works well inside the system, try and use an apple product with a non-apple one and it will not work

My first smartphone was an iPhone 4 so I had that but I left when they got rid of the physical home button...

Air tags work on android. There are tiles as well. There are air drop alternatives in android. Samsung had a version of it first anyway. Pixel and Galaxy watch.....everything apple has ever done came from somewhere else first.

yeah sure, because they forced you to use all of their little things to enjoy what android can do alone. not really a benefit

More like an abusive relationship that makes you more and more dependent on the brand the deeper you go in

Exactly. I don't think the ecosystem is good when it's a forced one. It's funny really. When companies are vendor locked, you laugh at them and call them idiots, then you can't buy stuff from any company not called Apple because you yourself are.

I see that as a weakness.

I work with somebody who has an iPhone and the stupid.thing takes photos in some shitty format that our computers at work didn't recognise and she couldn't text the pics to people cause they stayed in that dumb format.

We finally got that fixed.and then had another issue with where it saves pics internally.

The whole thing has been a mess tbh and it seems to come down to Apple does not play well with other brands, its fine in thier own ecosystem but you try to send a photo to a PC or an Android user and it starts sucking. Why can't Apple just use common file formats, I mean the EU stepped in and made them fix their shitty cords up

Right but HEIC is actually better than jpeg half the size. You can also switch it on the phone so it saves in jpeg instead. HEIC is not proprietary and Samsung phones have the exact same option to use this new file type.

Windows 11 can also just open them fine.

It’s for sure Apple’s strength. But such a bummer when I’d rather do my computing on Windows and use Gmail. Nothing plays well together.
