    I’m not sure of anyone who switches from iOS. Once you are in the ecosystem they won’t let you leave.

      Why is this stupidity repeated ad nauseum? I’ve successfully switched from iOS to Android and back to iOS again without any hindrance.

      It’s not any different from switching from windows to Linux.

        Then why can’t I use an Apple watch with anything but Apple products? Why do I need a Mac to create iOS apps?

          Lmao. People really are just out there on the raggedy edge. The watch communicates with a shit ton of sensors and other tech only found on Apple devices. Also, last I checked, I can’t run an Android Watch on iPhone fully, there is always a slew of things that don’t work or kinda work. Maybe Apple didn’t want that experience for its users.

          You need a Mac to build Apple apps because why in the actual fuck would you use a PC to do that!? What’s the point?

          I’m not defending Apple as they clearly gate a lot of shit but the complaining about the dumbest shit ever doesn’t make them Nazis. Also, Google, Samsung, Microsoft, all of them are the same level of asshole. Big Tech is trash. This is not new news.

            You could use an Android watch with iOS but Apple will not let you. I don’t get why you are defending Apple

          If you just have an iPhone and nothing else and treat it like a smart phone it is very easy to migrate over to android and vice versa. If you get invested in the apple ecosystem it might be hard to leave or use some other products that are gimped without an iPhone

            Third party products will not work well with an iPhone as Apple makes sure that there products work best. Additionally, iphones have very bad SMS and MMS support.
