    Apple gang or don’t bang. My collection:

    • iPhone 12
    • iPad Pro 11.9”
    • MacBook Pro
    • AirPods Pro

    I haven’t defragged a computer since 2009 hallelujah. Oh and I don’t have to worry about fragmentation either.

    I have an Apple for my personal and Android for my work. There are pros and cons to both to be honest. My Galaxy S9 feels closer to an actual desktop-class experience, I do not feel handcuffed and limited like I do with iOS devices. However, it lacks the refinement of my iOS, Apple seems to think through workflows and UX much more than Samsung/Google and it makes for a much premium experience. It may at times be rather annoying when you cannot download a simple MP3 and play it in the music app but the way things just work with minimal config/troubleshooting is what I like the most. It’s not trying to be your desktop, it’s a mobile device and when you see it as such, it works.

    Android is the OS, which can be run on just about any phone, Apple can only run on Apple. I've been with Samsung phones for the last 7 years, never had a crash, never laggy.
    Apple is over priced for what it is and is nothing more than a brand, like LV or Gucci, your paying for the name.

    Ios cost is what many shun about apple. But my grandfather always said "You have to pay to play". Maybe I would be a Droid main stay if I didn't have a ipod, that music box alone had me sold on apple. But to each his own...Im not dumpin on y'all.

    Well that’s kind of disingenuous because my grandma’s life line phone runs Android. When you compare iPhone or iPad sales to their competitors then you see who the market really wants.

    exactly, to each his own. I just like the freedom of being able to do whatever I want to my phone. With apple you're stuck with an apple phone, android is on any phone you want. LG, Samsung, Motorola, Huawei, HTC, Google pixel ect. you get the idea.

    I FULLY overstand what you are saying Brother. Now there is this new phone out called the Clear Phone and it promises to have that same hacker proof bio tech. I might get that as a 2nd standby, it looks promising and it runs Androids latest upgrade.

    We download MP3's & MP4's just fine. That hollow statement shows you never worked with it. No worries...we have learned hacks around what you are talking about.

    I use Apple Music so it’s nothing for me.
    I just don't like the sudden price hikes for music, they have slowed that madness down but that what was silly to me. Going up on single song prices...They were raising their price like the post office.

    I dont use iTunes so I wouldn't know but I bet it had to do with a record industry price hike on the backend.

    My girl turned me on to Spotify a few years ago and I have NOT been on iTunes buying since. Streaming what I want to listen to is Boo Koo better.

    I use Apple Music and feel exactly the same. The only thing I hate is tracks disappear at random. So tracks I really like I still buy on iTunes.

    Fam? That really gets on my nerves when they just up and take something off I really liked. My only serious problem with apple as a company is there are too many jobs in China that should be here and I am not talking just in Mexico.

    Yeah but that's a hard problem to escape. Globalization created that monster.

    My very first phone was a Nokia, back when it was still running the legendary Symbian OS! But since they fell flat, it switched to Android and i have been a loyal Androdian specifically the Samsung Galaxy Note series. 10+ years strong now! Am currently rockin' Galaxy Note 10+ seriously eyeing the Note 20 Ultra. Sadly, it's too damn expensive!

    I am an Apple fan boy! My favorite brand of phones are iPhones. I have used Apple products for years. I really like the ease of use and the reliability of the products. I know, many say that it is not value for money today! But i am just addicted to it. It just has good vibes i guess :-)

    Those Nokia phones were so sturdy and well built. That snake game on them was so addictive.

    Android. Most of the stuff they tout as special about I-phone, android users have had those features for years.
    I-Phone is like Nike. It is just a brand name. Other than that not much special!
    Yeah android will have it but the fit and finish would be wack. It’s like saying a Corolla and and S Class are the same because they are both cars.

    The only apple things I own are two old iPods. The older ones, they were built solid. Both mine still function though one only functions when it is plugged in. I have to replace the battery. Never been into iPhones or MacBooks.
    My iPod classic 256 still pushing to this day but forever locked in 2010 when iTunes died

    Well that's not what I was thinking. Lol. I was more thinking about the technology aspect. Like I-phone got face recognition and everyone was making a big deal. Android had that technology years before on lots of their flagship phones. Same is true with finger print readers.

    I have always used Android phones and products. Idk what I'm missing in Apple products because I have never used them. That said, I won't rule out having or using Apple products in the future especially if and when I can afford to keep having to buy the damn things every year a new model comes out.
