Seriously, they suck. Do people outside the west even use them? I think the user interface sucks even. I wouldn't hate them as much if their users weren't basically cultists.
I used an iPhone for 10 years. I never liked it. I had a Mac for 5 years. I never liked it.
The only reason I can fathom why most non-tech people like Apple is because 1) MS sucks worse in many ways 2) they have internalized the marketing hype, aesthetics and logic of $$$ means better
I've been forced to use an iphone and mac for work about 6 months ago, and the mac is mostly just annoying at times, while the iphone is really much more annoying generally. Both of them make doing a lot of common daily things like connect bluetooth device take 2x as many clicks/taps than they need to be.
I think it's worth pointing out that the Apple ecosystem is really good, too. iMessage may be annoyingly closed down, but it is so nice to be able to text people with my keyboard
This may be a US/anti Facebook thing, but I donโt use WhatsApp. Also, I religiously shut down notifications from my browser because so many sites work their way in there
I am kinda stuck with Apple because I am the type of person to obsessively take notes and there is no more seamless experience than the notes app, as feature light as it is
