Techie reasons to like (or not hate) Apple [Serious replies only]

LukaP

Im going to be playing devils advocate here (or just like, uncovering another side of the story)

 

You all probably know my views on Apple, how most of the hate they get is unjustified. 

 

So, if you have a reason to like apple (or if you just want to give props where its due), this is the thread for you (and the rhyme is for me)

Their hardware looks nice, and windows runs great on it!

That's about all I can muster up on this topic.

When in doubt, re-format.

I don't mind MacBooks, but the rest of the Apple stuff just doesn't appeal to me. I'd only get a MacBook if I could put Windows/Linux on it.

Aright I will speak my reasons: 

 

Mac: 1-Better scalling for HiDPi (at least when I bough it) 

         2-Better battery life (again when I bought it)

         

iPhone: 1-Great camera

             2- Ecosystem (in other words world of tanks blitz works better there)

IT downgrades both of them. Because both of them are equally as bad.

they introduced a new type of ssd storage into phones

their screens are amazing

they can pack a hell of a lot of hardware in a tiny package (trash can design :P)

its not cheap. but damn its most of the time very well built and has great software responsivness between devices

the main reason i see to like apple, is they are one of the few companies that has an entire ecosystem, and has it 100% figured out.

 

and for the people that like the "entire ecosystem" concept, thats a VERY good point.

^^ Pretty much. 

 

Cookie to everyone that moans about the forum, then participates in a thread that clearly doesn't apply to them; if you don't like Apple, don't post in a thread asking why people like Apple.
