Apple or Android

I have an iPhone and live by it. You? What’s your preference? Apple or Android?

They make everything proprietary so their charging cables are different than anything else, their stuff is only compatible with other products they make. You don't get as many choices/options.

I went from Android to Apple (phone only) about 6 years ago and never looked back. It feels more intuitive to me. However, my company issued handheld for work is Android, so constant confusion is the order of the day lol.

Apple all the way.

I got an iPod *mumble* years ago. My first smartphone and my current smartphone are iPhones. At my last two companies, we used Macs, and when I got laid off a few months back, I took my last paycheck and treated myself to a high-end MacBook. I can work with Windows, but I'm more comfortable with macOS and Linux.

It does freak me out when somebody calls my cell and my computer rings

I had an android phone in the early aughts, I probably didn't use half the features because I had zero idea how to access them.

I use apple products at home, iphone which others have mentioned its so intuitive right out of the box. I have a mac book, full confession on this end, I've used a PC through school and in my working career, there are still facets to my mac book I have to go online to look up on how to use.

All that said, I don't think I could ever go back to an android phone.

Iphone, Ipad, Apple Watch user here. I wanted to get a MacBook for my latest laptop, but hubby got me another HP instead. He was convinced by price and that "it'd be harder to learn a Mac".

I use PCs for business because they are simply better business tools. I love my Surface Pro. For everything else, it's Apple, primarily because of the Apple ecosystem's privacy policies versus everyone else.

Yes, I forgot about my Apple Watch.

Android 100%. Globally too. You can customize Android way more and you tell it what you want it to do for you. They are way more innovative. There are features that they come out with years before Apple.

Apple on the other hand tells you what it wants you to do. Apple pretends like they come up with innovations that Android has had for years. I have an Ipad because I got it for free. It was meant to be my sons. He hates it.
