I have been a regular user of Apple devices for at least a decade? Maybe longer. Years go by and I’m still with a company I don’t like at all and I hate its many anti-consumer practices. So what am I even doing? Let me explain.
Let’s face it, this company did well its peak, when she dominated the world iPods, and earlier iMaciem G3 (with special mention for iBooka G3, those were the days!). I don’t accept any other answers. It was then that she ruled the imagination and was something special. Today? It is simply a tool without which it is impossible to live otherwise and it traps its users.
It’s not my fault it turned out this way. It’s all because of Nokia
In fact, my situation is not to blame for myself, but because of a system like this Android, I started using equipment from the company z Cupertino. Okay, he’s guilty too Microsoft, it was because of this company and its inability to provide a decent app store that I had to decide on a new phone.
Yes, I had it in my head out of order many years ago when Windows Phone’y it was also decorated with a logo Nokia and they were the best smartphones on the market. They worked flawlessly, I never had any problem answering the phone. They also had it in them element the long history of the company and I greatly appreciated that they decided on a completely different look for the main screen than the competition. Basically everything you needed was there.
The phones were solidly built and you could walk in them replace the battery, ai the operating system did not make life difficult with constant stumbles. If these were all the expectations for the device, you could be super satisfied. Unfortunately, the stairs started when they opened store with applications. This one was unintuitive, forcibly connected with common DNA xboxem, and to top it all off, it was empty. Unfortunately, these were sins that could not be forgiven and at some point there was nothing left to say “enough” and end with about fifteen(?) years of shared history with Finnish company.
The crop failure showed a different path than Android
Then the great search began Android. At last… Apple it was tempting, but certainly not the prices of these smartphones, and everyone knew that this was not the pinnacle of customization possibilities. I had no idea how to break the security of such expensive devices just to be able to set my own backgrounds – the times when iPhones you couldn’t even have your own background behind app icons – or other interesting cosmetic tweaks.
This is where it happened to me challenge, which I hadn’t thought about at all. There were no flagships within my budget, so I had to focus on mid-range devices Android. Which in practice meant browsing dozens of rankings, user opinions and watching tests on YouTube. Devastated and overwhelmed by the harvest, I bought a used one iPhone’a 5C.
If you say “iPhone”, be careful with “iPad”
Second-hand, but my own. I won’t lie, after Windows Phone, when I saw Retina in action for the first time, it was hard not to be delighted. I was surprised to see that everything could work even faster, even nicer, and even that boring screen wasn’t so bad when there were so many pluses. At that time I didn’t realize that these could have been the last days of free choice.
In the following years, everything was calm, no madness, but it was difficult to notice the slow bonding with one company. Every small purchase in iTunes and AppStore was another brick. The beginning of the end was changing the phone to a model released on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the line. iPhone X with an OLED screen and the first whose surface was not sullied by a physical button.
These opportunities made me want to come back to hobby abandoned years ago, lost in the maze of responsibilities as a young adult absorbed in studies and work. I bought an inexpensive – obviously used – stylus Adonit Pro, and a must-have app Procreate Pocket and I drew again. Then the iPad and the MacBook happened and the machine took off.
I’m ashamed to admit it, but it’s just too comfortable
Apple is not the best company in the world, nor does it even make the best devices available on the market. This is what does the best, it is not, as every opponent thinks, advertising. When there are accusations of brainwashing or fashion, they can also be pushed into the background. They certainly influence people to some extent, after all, something has to push for purchase. The answer is much simpler. Including ecosystem it’s just devilishly convenient and no one has been able to repeat it yet.
Let them serve as an example AirPodsy, the world’s best-selling wireless headphones. I resisted them myself until this past month. I think that’s quite brave considering the eight years of their presence on the market. I love mine Sony WH-1000XM5, They have been working great since the first day of purchase shortly after their launch a few years ago. However, a change occurred in my life and I started working exclusively from home, falling deeper and deeper into madness every time the phone started ringing and in one moment it trembled watch, phone and the notification was on screen monitor. The headphones, as confused as I was, didn’t know what to do and I ended up having to do it anyway manually switch sound. The problem disappeared from AirPods.
It’s all about comfort, this equipment simply works and does not disappoint. AirDrop, chips, prostate systems. Everything is addictive and stops you from trying something new. Giving the company a free hand to introduce terrible, anti-consumer solutions and stagnation. However, so what? Since everything works perfectly in this comfort. Cameras, screens and the M series of chips are effective snares.
Is it possible to one day create a common environment for everyone?
When I think about it and I’m testing other calls, I always finish with this one just thought. I have always loved foldable phones and now there is an opportunity for it again. Nothing can replace the feeling of satisfaction of opening and closing the smartphone flap. Unfortunately, after each phone I test, I still come back to it Apple. I am always accompanied by disappointment operating system. So many possibilities had to be reflected in small things that, after years in a hermetic environment, immediately catch the eye.
And so I then consider whether it is even possible for there to ever be a common system that would meet all of them cravings? In theory, we already have it, it is Android, but each manufacturer has some form of its better or worse made overlay. From my perspective, this makes it difficult to change phone models, and each one presents shortcomings in various aspects depending on the developers, not the system. So is this just a utopia and we will have to stay in it forever? applowskim ecosystem? At the moment I don’t see a better solution, although my heart bleeds that we have to stay in this boring camp instead of even giving it a chance Samsung Whether Nothing (2).
