Yeah, I’ve had a few issues here and there across all of my devices, but most can be fixed with a restart. I’m literally the only person at work who does not have constant problems with my work Windows laptop. But I’m also the only person who shuts it down every day at the end of my shift and goes out of my way to check for updates.
I get why folks who are more involved in their devices or prefer more customization may not like Apple products, but a lot of people just see them as a device to connect to the internet or write papers etc. and that’s about it. Folks like Apple because it works for them.
I’m really happy there are options for people to have a device that suits their needs.

Right, and I don’t get why this is so hard to grasp, if questions like OP are in good faith.
More often than not it’s just to start circlejerking with the same argument over and over.
I never owned Apple product but have tried it once for trial purpose, its my sister’s iPhone something a few years back before covid. I nearly barfed, not because it’s a bad hardware but because it’s just not for me.
So for me its still Android, and google make it more and more irritating but we don’t have other options don’t we?

Because folks like OP are not asking in good faith, otherwise they would not have asked the way they did. They simply want to talk down about Apple users and feel superior to them because OP is so smart and Apple users are so dumb.
This is exactly what it is. People have different preferences and priorities in their daily lives, but some folks think their preferences and priorities are superior to others and that makes anyone who doesn’t think like them a dumb idiot. You can find this type of thinking across so many different topics.
I’m no Apple fangirl, but I’ve had this discussion with someone in my college class. Super nice guy, but just could not understand why I prefer Apple over Android. He was polite about it and asked similar questions that OP asked, but in a less obnoxious manner. We both pulled our phones out and poked around together. He still didn’t quite get it, but he was respectful and listened to me instead of being rude.
Some people have to feel superior to others in order to feel better about themselves and I find these types of posts bring that type out.
This is the real crux of the problem!
