I’m a huge fan of apple’s iPhone product, but I really don’t like their Mac computers.

So, are you a fan of apple’s products or not really? If you’re not a fan of their products, what are some of the things that you dislike about them?
 
More of an Android guy here. I don't exactly dislike Apple, but I love my Blackberry Key 2 with the keyboard.

I've never tried Apple products really except one of the first generation iPods when I was growing up.

My brother on the other hand always has an iPhone.

I'd be tempted to buy a second hand Mac for programming, etc and just regarding exclusive software but I dislike the restrictions imposed with Apple products.

Give me an Android phone I can custom ROM and the ability to dualboot Linux any day.

The only Apple product I have used is the telephone. One of my sons gave it to me for Christmas. He did not like the phone I had before. (It was one I bought at Walmart, a flip phone)/

I loved my old iPod! I’ve been an iPhone user since 2014. I’m looking forward to next iPhone that’ll have 5g. Mac’s are nice because they have built in video software. What features does android have that iPhone’s don’t have?
 
I was a fan of the iPad for years and years, but I think I'm going to switch to something Android the next time I need a new one. The restrictions are just too much, and the service has been declining.

Android allows you more customisations in terms of cracked software or modifications to the OS for better battery life, removable of bloatware, etc.

I am not to be honest. I really like their Macbook Pro's and that is it. I have a Mac Mini that I use for video editing and I swear by it. But iPhones and iPads I am not convinced.

Are you still using your iPad or have you made the move over to android?
 
I wouldn't say I am a fan of Apple products but due to my screen cracking badly and the only spare phone we had was the iPhone 11. I have been using that for now until I can get a new Android.
 
I LOVE Apple products, I used to have an IPhone and an IPad. But 4 phones ago I bought an Android phone to check it out, and I bought a lot of Android apps. So now I am an Android guy, or I have to buy everything all over again.

I usually turn away Apple products, and try to go for another brand. I find all their products are over priced.
 
Bill Gate's politics gives me the creeps, so I like Apple as an alternative. However, I haven't gotten around to getting into Apple products because it's a big change, but I have used an Apple at my brother's house, and I used a vintage Apple in my youth to play video games and make graphics (early 1990s).

I will pick a Samsung product as well. I have been using their mobile phones and I have had the best experience so far.

The day you are going to manage to upgrade from using Android phone to iPhone, it will be very difficult for you to get back to using Android device again once you have experienced an iOS device.
 
I like their mobile phones. I'm not a huge fan of Mac either because most software only works with windows. While some developers cater to the mac but you run into a lot of times where the piece of software you want can run on it.
 
I am a fan of apple's iPhone products and that's their phone, I don't like their other brands.
The only thing I dislike about their phone is that they don't have long lasting battery. If you are getting their phone, budget for a power bank too.
 
I don't like Apple products. I find them to be very overpriced. There are better products that I can buy. And they're even cheaper! Maybe if Apple products came at a better price, I would consider them.
 
It is actually only the iPhone of Apple that I have considered making use of. As of the rest of their brand, it is not something that interest me at the moment.
 
Everyone in my family uses Apple except me, so I end up using their ipad or I'll watch videos with them on their iphone. Some of the functions confuse me though, and then I have to switch my brain back to Android mode LOL

Nope, overpriced and behind the times. I'm happy with my android stuff.
This is very correct about how expensive those Apple product used to be and it's only those who have excess money to spend that are usually over hooked on them.

Their flagship devices are never cheap. They are in a serious competition with Samsung which is why they can't lower the prices as they keep upgrading on their specs to stay ahead which comes with increased cost.

If you're not used to a particular device operating system, that's how it's usually going to have you. It's going take you more time to navigate through it.

I am a Samsung guy, and making use of the other devices can never sit well with me. I would ask my friends to operate their iPhone instead of asking me to use it. It has never worked fine for me.
