The way I view the "Apple Ecosystem" is the convenience of having one account iCloud connected to all your devices, syncing data. It's definitely a plus, but nothing mind-blowing. Like yeah, you don't have to enter your iPhone's hotspot password on your Mac, but on my PC, I entered my Galaxy's password once, and it is saved in my WiFi networks. It's a tiny convenience, not a feature.
By definition convenience is features tho. Technically you can personally code and create anything. You can code and modify the hardware to make phone calls or you can have phone calls as a “feature”. There’s no single feature that isn’t just convenience, everything is possible with more steps if you really want to
I’m definitely an Apple girlie, I started with an iPhone 3GS way back in the day and now I own a MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPods Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, and my Apple Watch SE. The Apple ecosystem is just so seamless and works so well I can’t see myself leaving Apple any time soon.
For a number of years I have preferred the Samsung phones to iPhones but have stuck with Apple because of the ecosystem. It just works really, really well. People often say that Apple traps people but, having used a couple of Android phones, I realised that if you are not in Apple's ecosystem, you are in Samsung/Google's and I trust Apple more than I trust Google.
I am just glad Linux exists if Apple decides to put Google AI or the Chinese AI in the phone or Mac with no option to turn off I will be out. And my first Apple product was an Apple II..
@@Kirkster131 It is a frightening thought to have Google's AI on your phone. Quite aside from the enforced political ideology of Gemini, you will have the total opposite of Apple's emphasis on user privacy.
Android and Windows user for almost all of my life. Switched to Apple in late 2021, now I have an iPhone 15 Pro, MacBook Pro M1, Apple Watch SE, iPad Air, AirPods Pro, Beats Studio Pro, AirTag, Apple Card, and Apple TV 4K. I have never been more productive. Android and Windows are still great, always will be. But I think I’m an Apple user for life now. Seamless, simple, clean, and most of the time it works. The Apple ecosystem is absolutely worth it!
I did the same thing, but made the switch much more recently. My productivity increased because I stopped having to tinker with my devices because everything not only just works, but works together. I feel like I've reached "the end", and don't have to think about my devices now.
@@albertkim1809 that’s exactly how I feel. Oh, and less accounts. I tend to stick with default apps as much as I can, so I don’t need a Spotify, RUclips Music, FitBit Premium, Samsung Health, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, etc. I have just about all of my accounts under Apple. So much more convenient.
Your comment is the dumbes* I've read and reminds me of a commercial :)! Have you ever thought that what suits one group of people may not suit another ? MacOS doesn't have 3/4 of the programs needed to run Land Surveyor engineer. I can buy a macbook pro, but it only has AutoCad. Most programmers refuse to make engineering programs for macOS. If you buy Apple tech for beauty, you're doubly stupi*
I'm a hard core android user, but I really enjoyed this video! A lot of my family uses apple products and they talk about the same things you were talking about. I hope this video gets more views!
the apple ecosystem is what makes the whole thing worth it, just as an example: you type something into your apple maps on your phone and you can get the directions on your watch immediately. its just better than anything else out there because of this
I use google maps on windows. I can send the path to my phone where my google account is logged in. It then pops up in my notification and if I just tap it, google maps app opens with the path I send from computer. I can choose when I want to use the map. Works in great non intrusive way.
@@georgev8590 missing the point. You saying you have to send it there, click a bunch of buttons to get the same thing. That’s not simple or seamless. Which is why people say Apple’s ecosystem is better, as it just works without having to think about it.
Exactly, people always say “android is better” while I agree but I don’t just have a phone, I have a phone tablet laptop tv watch earbuds smart home. Now what’s better iPad or galaxy tablet? iPad. Galaxy buds or AirPods? AirPods. Samsung smart watch or Apple Watch? Apple Watch. Now what connects everything better Apple! It’s not 1:1 value it’s the sum of everything
@@jarretf861 As someone who uses both an iPhone and an Android phone... I would say in a vacuum where only the phone is being used most Flagship Android phones are better value for money when compared to the current iPhone. The problem is the world is not a vacuum and the Apple Ecosystem exists. So, if you have the means/need to get other Apple devices then it immediately becomes worth it. From what I've seen though the Samsung ecosystem is closer than it was before... just not quite there.
I used to be team android. I had a MacBook for a while. But the iPad really is just the best for note taking and I really contribute it to my recent success in college. I got an IPhone at the same time and oh my god.... The ecosystem makes a HUGE difference. Getting the right documents to wherever I need it for class is just so easy. I remember really struggling when I had my galaxy. I'm planning to get a watch soon too.
@@emp437The watch really depends on the person you are. I know people who use it daily for exercise and convenience and i know others who never touch it. Also, if you are a person who is on their phone often it may be less useful to you. I'd recommend exploring all the features on it 😊
Wow, if you buy in Brazil through the official Apple website, it costs over 21 thousand dollars (and I didn't even include speakers and Vision Pro because they're not sold here) 😵💫
The red tag on your shirt that says “fashion” 😂 nice Also the AirPods listen to iPhone feature is really useful for really loud pubs and for people who are hard of hearing.
Yes! I’m quarter deaf in my left ear and while talking to my family I’d plug ‘em in and put my device by them or on the table! Helped me a ton, thanks Apple.
a lot of people hate on apple for having such a good ecosystem but what are they supposed to do? Not take advantage that they own the OS? Windows and Android arent owned by the same people so they cant take full advantage but apple for sure can.
I really like apple ecosystem. I personally prefer Sony earphones. It have better sound quality and two device connectivity too. I am a student. Ecosystem helps a lot with my homework’s and assignments. Using iPhone for projects for capturing stuff and working on the go and when I got to home it all synced with iPad. I want to add more apple products to my ecosystem. For example MacBook and an Apple Watch. I use a windows pc and third party softwares to sync. It disturbs me sometimes. I really want to switch to Mac as soon as possible.
Airdrop alone is worth it. I’ve been using iMacs since the eMac. Eventually that became iPhones, iPad, AirPods Pro and the watches. Airdrop makes backing up my files onto my computer a breeze and sharing photos between family to be sure I get the best quality, easy as possible. I back my photos up onto 4 different hard drives, I have no use for a storage subscription
Having purchased an IPad 4 weeks ago and I just got an iPhone this past weekend, I’m not going back to android. Within 5 weeks I have become a apple user 🤯 It took a minute but now I get it
Out of all the ecosystem components, the Apple Watch is the most "mandatory" of them all. It is the most integrated of all apple's products. You can't even set it up without having an iPhone initially.
For me , the only disappointment of the Apple ecosystem I’ve experienced, is that people still don’t seem to take advantage of using the complete system of apps (especially Pages and Numbers) that Apple provides. All of these apps have seen improvements over the last few years to make your digital life a lot smoother and simpler. You’re paying for these apps anyway (when you purchase a phone), give them a try.
The two best aspects of apple’s ecosystem in my opinion are, you know it’s going to be a quality device and the synchronous nature of various settings and iCloud account functionality. You can try this using Samsung devices but it’s not as well refined.
My favourite ecosystem thing is copy and pasting things between devices like magic and the fact you can put airpods in and they'll just work between Apple devices like magic Quality of life features is a big reason why the ecosystem is great and why I wish I could game on MacOS like I can on Windows so I could have MacOS as my operating system
Great video. This was a very good video! It was knowledgeable about the subject without the loaded language and drama we typically get from RUclipsrs. None of that “trapped” in the ecosystem or “it’s only marketing” nonsense. It’s baffling to hear buying products that are very capable and offer a superior performance than other devices described as a NEGATIVE. Apple doesn’t make using other manufacturer’s products with Apple products a LESS enjoyable experience than other users, they make using their products with their other Apple products a BETTER experience.
apple ecosystem works so well, I own Airpods pro 2, Apple watch Ultra 2, iPhone 13 pro, M2 iPad pro 11 (which replaced my M1 iPad air lol) & beats studio 3 (if that counts)...everything works so well
honestly the "feature" of multiple air pods playing from one device is a restriction rather than a feature because on my android after connecting multiple headphones i just select everyone i want to play to and it just does it regardless of the brand.
You did a video a couple of years ago for “Smartwatch as your Phone.” I tried that and love it so my one addition to the ecosystem would be to better integrate the Watch with other devices and deprioritize the iPhone as the flagship so those of us feeling the pull of smartphone addiction can step away from the phone. My dream ecosystem would be a Cellular iPad + Apple Watch, a Mac Desktop computer and an Apple TV. If we are wish casting I would love it for Apple came out with a “Digital notebook” with Eink like the Remarkable or the Kindle Scribe.
Are you Nate o'briens brother?? lol this is the first video I've seen of yours but I've been watching Nate for years. You guys sound the same and have the same cadence when you talk.
however iPhones don't really work well with usb cables. firstly remember most (apart from the 15 Pro and Pro Max) still have USB2 speeds and iphones are recognised as a camera device rather than as mass storage. in my case i find myself using google photos to transfer photos between iphone android and windows
@@ghejnuni Thats someting i didnt know, iPhones are recognised as a camera device. This is likey done by apple on purpose. Its disingenuous as they dont want you to be able to access your files. They want you to think that you could break something if you dont know what you are doing, but most people wont do this. I now see why it was more annoyng to transfer music files to earlier iPhones, since they were recognised as a camera. I am curoius if you have an iPhone, is it an older or later one and if its a newer one, does it still show up as a camera and not storage?
As a windows snd iPhone/ipad user the ability to use my phone as a webcam is a feature I wish I could use. There’s apps to do a similar thing but it works nowhere near as well as apples system.
I know android is starting to do things similarly, especially Samsung, but the reason I stay on iPhone is because nobody is nearly as seamless with connecting literally everything I own together. Samsung isn’t bad by any means, they’re just one step behind when it comes to this That being said, my god the Magic Mouse is absolutely terrible
Android suffers from the same problem that windows does which is that it is developed as software separately from the company selling the device. Samsung doesn’t write android software, it uses software from google on its devices. While iOS on the other hand is coded by apple for apple devices. Which is why it think the apple ecosystem so seamless compared to other ecosystems as well as apple recognizing that people want their devices to work together.
I switched from Samsung to apple like 2 years ago and I can say I ain’t going back, it’s way faster and convenient the way their work with their own products
When you're inside, all of the parts flow like fine wine. the I0S interfaces and how 'beautiful' they are compared to any other system. I've used both Microsoft extensively but prefer Apple. I decided a few months ago to begin my search for iPhone etc and out came WWDC well off I went... I'm in...
iPhone 15 pro max, 13” iPad Pro M4, 14” MacBook Pro with the M3 pro chip, AirPods Pro, Apple TV 4K… my Apple Watch gen 4 recently bit the dust and I’m waiting for the new ones to be announced Monday before I get a new one. Apple ecosystem is just prime time. I still like having a desktop pc for gaming, but everything else is so much better on Mac. Also, every windows laptop has garbage battery life compared to MacBook. I just love Apple. They can be anti consumer sometimes but their products are amazing. The ONLY Apple product I absolutely HATE is the stupid Magic Mouse lol. That thing is too thin, my hand cramps within 5 minutes of using it, and you just can’t beat having an actual right click on a physical mouse.
I went back to Mac when I started working in audio again, doing audio on Windows is device driver hell. I was still a Android user and a couple years ago I thought why don't I try a iPhone. Suddenly I started seeing benefits of the Apple Ecosystem. Then to help with some health issues I thought I'd try a Apple Watch, dam the Apple Ecosystem is getting better and better. With the Apple Ecosystem both my Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, Airpods and just talk to each other make phone calls answerable on any of the devices, pass files, use iPhone camera on any of the devices and I didn't have to do anything it just works. Have to say I stayed away from the Apple Ecosystem at first thinking it was just a gimmick, but once I had two Apple devices I started getting hooked on the Apple Ecosystem. Now the Android and Google world has an ecosystem, but because you start getting into multiple vendors it isn't as smooth experience as Apples. I'd say Apple's Ecosystem is their secret weapon for getting and keeping customers on Apple products.
My friend kind of started me thinking about hackintoshes. Audio giant AVID had dropped support for older bus Apple was using and no discount or deals for those who had those expensive cards. So option was buy newer Mac with the new bus and buy new Avid cards. He said screw that I have too much invested to shelve it all. Was easy to get PC with the bus Mac had so he built a Hackintosh. All the cards and software worked fine. He eventually upgraded the PC and made it a Hackintosh and kept going. So he got more years of use from his investment, before finally deciding to get a new Mac and the new Avid cards.
I use a M1 MacBook Air, an iPhone 15 Plus, iPad 10th Generation & Beats Flex earbuds (they automatically connect to my Apple devices) as my own Apple Ecosystem
Universal control has made my life a billion times easier. It was way more seamless than I thought It would be because i'm using older Mac products (from 2019).
EDIT: I will summarise this better. Apple has made it more annyoing to transfer a file from other devices rather than there own in order to keep you ignorant of the fact thats its very easy to do without all of Apples stuff. So this on Apple and thier Mac books. Think about it, Its easy to send files from one Android device to another. About the file transfer from android at around 3:46. Its even easier to transfer any file from you phone to any computer. Just connect you phone via the provided usb lead, simpy find the folder on your phone that conatins the file, then drag and drop it into the place you want on your PC, its dead easy. I can see that if you have been using an app on an Apple device that it seems harder, but is not. Its not hard to find the location of the file on your phone when it connected you your computer. Your phone does a good job of telling you what location ist stored in. The fact that the app is bad is not reflective of how much easier it is to trasnfer a file from your phone on Android to any PC. You could find another free app that would work an do the same job.
There's a driver on mac os that's 3rd party and let's me access my android in finder and drag and drop it into my phone. I'm not in the ecosystem I'm just here for mac os because ìts IMO the best os in the world
I used both ecosystem and holy hell cant wait to buy a new iphone when i used to be younger i wanted to customize and have fun with android i even had a custom OS on my samsung phone but growing older i realized im not using the samsung features much or any android feature much the samsung watch i have is absolute crap and im using the watch 5 the one ui 6 app support is terrible i discovered new issues i never knew it existed with applications until i got back to the s23 ultra its been a sh*t show maybe a google Os is better but either ways apple atm is the better options for stability quality and support. *small note* on the iphone i used to take the photo once but on the samsung i noticed i took multiple photos of the same object and every single photo looks slightly different
I’ve had a MacBook and iPod in 2006 and it was great. Then I got an iMac and Apple phone and watch and I was like woah. Now I have a Mac Studio, m3 iMac, Apple Watch, iPad, Apple Pencil , AirPod pros apply tv 4k and I’m like wtf did this happen.
I love Apple. I love the iPhone and the iMac, but I use a Sony TV and a Garmin Fenix 3 HR watch, and Skullcandy earbuds. I feel that an Apple TV, Vision Pro, Watch, and AirPods are basically unnecessary. But whatever, when I have enough money I will definitely get them all.
Password 2 factor authentication; iCloud Keychain has 2FA built in to passwords and if you use an iPhone, or safari, it automatically sends the code when you log in. It's so well integrated, unlock Microsoft, which wont' even bring dark mode, and their backups half the time fail, so you have to redo all the two factor code setup over again. You can tell Apple put some serious thought into everything, whereas, other companies just tack things on to 'be like Apple' because that is what people want. I want my tools to work for me, I dont' want my tools to require tons of attention in order to work properly. I would rather focus on the things I want to work on.
I was on android up until last year and I will say it is worth the switch but at the same time I miss many android features...UI for example. Both are very good and having both is great...I will say the apple ecosystem is the best since everything can sync up and work seamlessly together but it can still be interchangeable with no drawbacks
KDE Connect will resolve a lot of the issues you run into with Android and MacOS not playing nicely, also works nicely for integrating Android with Windows, Linux and other Android devices.
The Apple ecosystem's quality is undeniable. It's very good. That said, there are two crucial things that keep me from ever joining it: it's a closed ecosystem and it's an expensive ecosystem. It'd be nice to use less expensive third party tech with the Apple stuff but Apple actively discourages it. Green vs. Blue bubbles for example. As such, because I prefer Windows computers for gaming and Pixel phones for the cameras (and both for their lower price), I won't buy an Apple watch, for example, because it won't play nice with those two. Oh well... can't have everything.
You can use third party tech with Apple devices. Logitech mice, different brand keyboards, FitBit with iPhone, different brand earbuds and headphones, and probably more.
@@migu-loza This is true and I apologize if it sounded like a blanket statement. I more wanted to emphasize that Apple stacks the deck against third party stuff, especially if it has a first party equivalent. The Apple Watch has way more functionality within the Apple ecosystem than a Fitbit, for example. Same with Air pods vs. Galaxy buds and so on. While some 3rd party stuff will work, if you want all the Apple bells and whistles shown in this video, you're gonna have to pay for it.
@@migu-lozaThe keyboards, mice, and headphones are nothing special. Every device supports those. The watch is “supported” but most of the APIs that would actually be useful for a smart watch to utilize are just not available to Wear OS watches, compared to the Apple Watch. You can’t even send iMessages on them. It’s a closed ecosystem because the core devices (phone, computer, tablet, watch, earbuds, TV box, location tags, etc) only really function fully when you’re buying from Apple, even if there are third party options. MKBHD did a great video about Apple and the Paradox of Choice, I’d recommend checking it out.

If find it just as semless for any device, i dont see a difference here. Apple make it look more semless, when really its the same. When switching to a new device you just easly re-download your apps and if you use any of thioe pasword mangers you, if Apple lets you on their devices that is, you can sign into your apps and accounts and so forth. your Phone is the same with just having to put your sim card in the new phone as and easy extra step.

The Nest hub is definitely worth buying. 1. There is no cheaper and better digital photo frame. 2. Also works with Apple music. 3. Very easy to set multiple timers, you can see count down on the screen. 4. Has almost all the functions that the apple homepod has.@@brucelin5842
I have a google display on my desk. Because i like knowing the time even if i have the computer off. If i set a reminder on my pixel it stairs me in my face
To anyone who says “Samsung ecosystem has this” I have both ecosystems It may Some features it does A lot of features it doesn’t But even the features it does have don’t work as well It’s just straight up less reliable
Not gonna lie, the issue I have with the whole 'is it worth it?' when it comes to Apple anything is the fact it costs about three or so times more to get a decent Apple product when an Android product that does the same thing (as an example, AirPods vs Galaxy Buds) is priced at a much, much lower price point. Any question of worth is immediately ruined for me when I have to pay so so much more for a product that has a lot of downsides. Apple locks their products down like it's Fort Knox. You have to jailbreak your phone to do most things that can be done with an Android device out of the box (or by enabling Dev options). Apple does not want you to leave their ecosystem at all - most Android devices do not care at all what you connect to them. I've used several different brands of headphones with my Android, and never had any issues at all. If you can read, you can connect two devices on Android. I see you mentioned that Airpods let you share a Bluetooth connection. Only AirPods let you do that - on Android, the same can be done out of the box with a sufficiently new combo of headphones and Android device. (Assuming that if you pay the extra for AirPods Pro which are just AirPods minus the selling point of portability anyway, you have the income to buy recent enough smartphone and bluetooth headset.) (Also yes, I DID hear you talk about it as well, I just wanted to use it as a point for my argument here.) Most advantages of the ecosystem boil down to things that A) are already a feature in Android devices, (some of them for generations before Apple thinks to add these things) or B) are completely pointless to add (removing the headphone jack caused most other manufacturers to do the same to keep up. I'm not going to write you another essay within this essay to explain why this is a bad thing). Sure, things like unlocking your pc when you step up to it with your watch are cool and all, but when that PC breaks and you need replacement parts, you are locked into what Apple can provide and as such are paying a premium for the privilege of a name and an aesthetic. Apple products thrive on their reputation, and while I'm not saying they are bad - not at all! I've got an iPad myself, and it is a great device, but if it wasn't for one feature the iPad has (Apple Pencil) that they doggedly refuse to let others play with*, I'd have gotten an Android device as well. (*Pointing this out since on Android, there have been collabs between WACOM and Samsung as well as pen manufacturers.) Overall, Apple is not a bad product in a vacuum of 'does it perform very very well', but the price and the fact that if I get a product by Apple, I'm stuck begging them for help when there is an issue makes the whole argument die before it can even be asked at all for me. And yes, call me poor if you'd like, but I do not see the point of paying a premium for barely above standard hardware. About your video though - I enjoyed your explanation and they way you spoke! It feels very human, like you are a real person who uses these products rather than just 'here are the specs, they wok', if that makes sense. Kind of the different between a sales person trying to sell me something or actually trying to offer me help to decide what item is best for me, ya know.
I used to work with/for Apple once upon a time. originally I was on the Apple ecosystem in Japan and the UK and had to switch to Android plus Windows when I moved to the Philippines. I got used to the handoff between android and windows in general and had to move back onto the apple ecosystem (primarily for work), but you really do miss out on most of the soft features available in those primary markets, making it somewhat useless here, unless you’re using it for work. I’d say if you’re living in a country which isn’t prioritized by Apple, it’s better to use Android + Windows, unless you absolutely have to use iOS or macOS for work purposes. Where are Apple’s primary markets? Wherever they have official Apple stores (NOT their official resellers): the US and other Western countries, China, Singapore, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, and the UAE. If you’re anywhere else? Android and Windows for a non work ecosystem.

Android and Windows user for almost all of my life. Switched to Apple in late 2021, now I have an iPhone 15 Pro, MacBook Pro M1, Apple Watch SE, iPad Air, AirPods Pro, Beats Studio Pro, AirTag, Apple Card, and Apple TV 4K. I have never been more productive. Android and Windows are still great, always will be. But I think I’m an Apple user for life now. Seamless, simple, clean, and most of the time it works. The Apple ecosystem is absolutely worth it!
Welcome to the Dark Side! 😁
@@michaelwoolcock5600 haha thanks!
I did the same thing, but made the switch much more recently. My productivity increased because I stopped having to tinker with my devices because everything not only just works, but works together. I feel like I've reached "the end", and don't have to think about my devices now.
@@albertkim1809 that’s exactly how I feel. Oh, and less accounts. I tend to stick with default apps as much as I can, so I don’t need a Spotify, RUclips Music, FitBit Premium, Samsung Health, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, etc. I have just about all of my accounts under Apple. So much more convenient.

the apple ecosystem is what makes the whole thing worth it, just as an example: you type something into your apple maps on your phone and you can get the directions on your watch immediately. its just better than anything else out there because of this
I use google maps on windows. I can send the path to my phone where my google account is logged in. It then pops up in my notification and if I just tap it, google maps app opens with the path I send from computer.
I can choose when I want to use the map. Works in great non intrusive way.

Exactly, people always say “android is better” while I agree but I don’t just have a phone, I have a phone tablet laptop tv watch earbuds smart home. Now what’s better iPad or galaxy tablet? iPad. Galaxy buds or AirPods? AirPods. Samsung smart watch or Apple Watch? Apple Watch. Now what connects everything better Apple! It’s not 1:1 value it’s the sum of everything
@@jarretf861 As someone who uses both an iPhone and an Android phone... I would say in a vacuum where only the phone is being used most Flagship Android phones are better value for money when compared to the current iPhone. The problem is the world is not a vacuum and the Apple Ecosystem exists. So, if you have the means/need to get other Apple devices then it immediately becomes worth it.
From what I've seen though the Samsung ecosystem is closer than it was before... just not quite there.
I used to be team android. I had a MacBook for a while. But the iPad really is just the best for note taking and I really contribute it to my recent success in college. I got an IPhone at the same time and oh my god.... The ecosystem makes a HUGE difference. Getting the right documents to wherever I need it for class is just so easy. I remember really struggling when I had my galaxy.
I'm planning to get a watch soon too.
The watch is really pointless. Got one and regretted it.
@@emp437it’s pointless depending on what your reason for using it is.
@@emp437The watch really depends on the person you are. I know people who use it daily for exercise and convenience and i know others who never touch it. Also, if you are a person who is on their phone often it may be less useful to you. I'd recommend exploring all the features on it 😊

@6:49 thats alot of alcohol in our fridge sir😅
a lot of people hate on apple for having such a good ecosystem but what are they supposed to do? Not take advantage that they own the OS? Windows and Android arent owned by the same people so they cant take full advantage but apple for sure can.
This is by far easily the top overview video of the Apple ecosystem. Even went on into the apps as well! Thanks, man!
I really like apple ecosystem. I personally prefer Sony earphones. It have better sound quality and two device connectivity too. I am a student. Ecosystem helps a lot with my homework’s and assignments. Using iPhone for projects for capturing stuff and working on the go and when I got to home it all synced with iPad. I want to add more apple products to my ecosystem. For example MacBook and an Apple Watch. I use a windows pc and third party softwares to sync. It disturbs me sometimes. I really want to switch to Mac as soon as possible.
Worth the money? YES if you can afford it. Its a thing of beauty as things work seamlessly
even i have an apple ecosystem-
apple juice
apple custard
apple pie
apple icream
apple pudding
apple cake
Airdrop alone is worth it. I’ve been using iMacs since the eMac. Eventually that became iPhones, iPad, AirPods Pro and the watches. Airdrop makes backing up my files onto my computer a breeze and sharing photos between family to be sure I get the best quality, easy as possible.
I back my photos up onto 4 different hard drives, I have no use for a storage subscription
Having purchased an IPad 4 weeks ago and I just got an iPhone this past weekend, I’m not going back to android. Within 5 weeks I have become a apple user 🤯 It took a minute but now I get it
Out of all the ecosystem components, the Apple Watch is the most "mandatory" of them all. It is the most integrated of all apple's products. You can't even set it up without having an iPhone initially.
Wouldnt that make the iPhone the most mandatory then?
I don't like the watch, it's too much, I don't need to be that connected all the time.
For me , the only disappointment of the Apple ecosystem I’ve experienced, is that people still don’t seem to take advantage of using the complete system of apps (especially Pages and Numbers) that Apple provides. All of these apps have seen improvements over the last few years to make your digital life a lot smoother and simpler. You’re paying for these apps anyway (when you purchase a phone), give them a try.
I use Pages, numbers, note and all Apple apps. They work better than the 3rd party ones.

Why does everyone ignore the beats by dre headphones. Its part of the apple ecosystem
Because unless you want to hear nothing but bass, they’re pretty rough
😂
As an electrician I use live listen to turn off circuits I am working on in homes
The two best aspects of apple’s ecosystem in my opinion are, you know it’s going to be a quality device and the synchronous nature of various settings and iCloud account functionality. You can try this using Samsung devices but it’s not as well refined.
The way you obstruct part of the display area on your TV with your Homepods makes my teeth itch.

My favourite ecosystem thing is copy and pasting things between devices like magic and the fact you can put airpods in and they'll just work between Apple devices like magic
Quality of life features is a big reason why the ecosystem is great and why I wish I could game on MacOS like I can on Windows so I could have MacOS as my operating system
Great video. This was a very good video! It was knowledgeable about the subject without the loaded language and drama we typically get from RUclipsrs. None of that “trapped” in the ecosystem or “it’s only marketing” nonsense. It’s baffling to hear buying products that are very capable and offer a superior performance than other devices described as a NEGATIVE. Apple doesn’t make using other manufacturer’s products with Apple products a LESS enjoyable experience than other users, they make using their products with their other Apple products a BETTER experience.
If you’re on your Mac, you can actually answer phone calls on it, and use it as if it was your phone. I’ve done it before.

Awesome.
apple ecosystem works so well, I own Airpods pro 2, Apple watch Ultra 2, iPhone 13 pro, M2 iPad pro 11 (which replaced my M1 iPad air lol) & beats studio 3 (if that counts)...everything works so well
it seems like the apple eco system is the most compatibe within itself while the others are good standalone
honestly the "feature" of multiple air pods playing from one device is a restriction rather than a feature because on my android after connecting multiple headphones i just select everyone i want to play to and it just does it regardless of the brand.
11:24 bro was locked in
You did a video a couple of years ago for “Smartwatch as your Phone.” I tried that and love it so my one addition to the ecosystem would be to better integrate the Watch with other devices and deprioritize the iPhone as the flagship so those of us feeling the pull of smartphone addiction can step away from the phone. My dream ecosystem would be a Cellular iPad + Apple Watch, a Mac Desktop computer and an Apple TV.
If we are wish casting I would love it for Apple came out with a “Digital notebook” with Eink like the Remarkable or the Kindle Scribe.

3:40 its almost like usb cables exist, i know its crazy
still, airdrop is more convenient and were in the age where saving a few seconds is as good as saving an hour
however iPhones don't really work well with usb cables. firstly remember most (apart from the 15 Pro and Pro Max) still have USB2 speeds and iphones are recognised as a camera device rather than as mass storage. in my case i find myself using google photos to transfer photos between iphone android and windows
@@ghejnuni isnt this deliberately made inconvinient by apple, if only theyd support usb properly like any other phone does
@@ghejnuni Thats someting i didnt know, iPhones are recognised as a camera device. This is likey done by apple on purpose. Its disingenuous as they dont want you to be able to access your files. They want you to think that you could break something if you dont know what you are doing, but most people wont do this. I now see why it was more annoyng to transfer music files to earlier iPhones, since they were recognised as a camera.
I am curoius if you have an iPhone, is it an older or later one and if its a newer one, does it still show up as a camera and not storage?
As a windows snd iPhone/ipad user the ability to use my phone as a webcam is a feature I wish I could use. There’s apps to do a similar thing but it works nowhere near as well as apples system.
Just buy an Apple silicon Mac. 😊
Another thing to remember about the screen play is, it is possible with 3rd party apps, discord is one that allows it, with all platforms
I know android is starting to do things similarly, especially Samsung, but the reason I stay on iPhone is because nobody is nearly as seamless with connecting literally everything I own together. Samsung isn’t bad by any means, they’re just one step behind when it comes to this
That being said, my god the Magic Mouse is absolutely terrible
Android suffers from the same problem that windows does which is that it is developed as software separately from the company selling the device. Samsung doesn’t write android software, it uses software from google on its devices. While iOS on the other hand is coded by apple for apple devices. Which is why it think the apple ecosystem so seamless compared to other ecosystems as well as apple recognizing that people want their devices to work together.
I got Powerbeats pro and works pretty much the same as AirPods. Same goes with the dual connectivity which is great 😊
Yeah, beats are an Apple product
I switched from Samsung to apple like 2 years ago and I can say I ain’t going back, it’s way faster and convenient the way their work with their own products
When you're inside, all of the parts flow like fine wine. the I0S interfaces and how 'beautiful' they are compared to any other system. I've used both Microsoft extensively but prefer Apple. I decided a few months ago to begin my search for iPhone etc and out came WWDC well off I went... I'm in...

Apple ecosystem is just prime time. I still like having a desktop pc for gaming, but everything else is so much better on Mac. Also, every windows laptop has garbage battery life compared to MacBook. I just love Apple. They can be anti consumer sometimes but their products are amazing. The ONLY Apple product I absolutely HATE is the stupid Magic Mouse lol. That thing is too thin, my hand cramps within 5 minutes of using it, and you just can’t beat having an actual right click on a physical mouse.

AirPods. Adaptive audio, conversation awareness, and motion gestures. You missed all that when comparing to other headphones.
I went back to Mac when I started working in audio again, doing audio on Windows is device driver hell. I was still a Android user and a couple years ago I thought why don't I try a iPhone. Suddenly I started seeing benefits of the Apple Ecosystem. Then to help with some health issues I thought I'd try a Apple Watch, dam the Apple Ecosystem is getting better and better. With the Apple Ecosystem both my Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, Airpods and just talk to each other make phone calls answerable on any of the devices, pass files, use iPhone camera on any of the devices and I didn't have to do anything it just works. Have to say I stayed away from the Apple Ecosystem at first thinking it was just a gimmick, but once I had two Apple devices I started getting hooked on the Apple Ecosystem. Now the Android and Google world has an ecosystem, but because you start getting into multiple vendors it isn't as smooth experience as Apples. I'd say Apple's Ecosystem is their secret weapon for getting and keeping customers on Apple products.
I build hackintoshes for audio. Windows is good for games.
My friend kind of started me thinking about hackintoshes. Audio giant AVID had dropped support for older bus Apple was using and no discount or deals for those who had those expensive cards. So option was buy newer Mac with the new bus and buy new Avid cards. He said screw that I have too much invested to shelve it all. Was easy to get PC with the bus Mac had so he built a Hackintosh. All the cards and software worked fine. He eventually upgraded the PC and made it a Hackintosh and kept going. So he got more years of use from his investment, before finally deciding to get a new Mac and the new Avid cards.
I use a M1 MacBook Air, an iPhone 15 Plus, iPad 10th Generation & Beats Flex earbuds (they automatically connect to my Apple devices) as my own Apple Ecosystem
Universal control has made my life a billion times easier. It was way more seamless than I thought It would be because i'm using older Mac products (from 2019).
EDIT: I will summarise this better. Apple has made it more annyoing to transfer a file from other devices rather than there own in order to keep you ignorant of the fact thats its very easy to do without all of Apples stuff. So this on Apple and thier Mac books. Think about it, Its easy to send files from one Android device to another.
About the file transfer from android at around 3:46. Its even easier to transfer any file from you phone to any computer. Just connect you phone via the provided usb lead, simpy find the folder on your phone that conatins the file, then drag and drop it into the place you want on your PC, its dead easy. I can see that if you have been using an app on an Apple device that it seems harder, but is not. Its not hard to find the location of the file on your phone when it connected you your computer. Your phone does a good job of telling you what location ist stored in.
The fact that the app is bad is not reflective of how much easier it is to trasnfer a file from your phone on Android to any PC. You could find another free app that would work an do the same job.
Android phones are overpriced trash and windows laptops are a joke.
There's a driver on mac os that's 3rd party and let's me access my android in finder and drag and drop it into my phone. I'm not in the ecosystem I'm just here for mac os because ìts IMO the best os in the world

I used both ecosystem and holy hell cant wait to buy a new iphone when i used to be younger i wanted to customize and have fun with android i even had a custom OS on my samsung phone but growing older i realized im not using the samsung features much or any android feature much the samsung watch i have is absolute crap and im using the watch 5 the one ui 6 app support is terrible i discovered new issues i never knew it existed with applications until i got back to the s23 ultra its been a sh*t show maybe a google Os is better but either ways apple atm is the better options for stability quality and support.
*small note* on the iphone i used to take the photo once but on the samsung i noticed i took multiple photos of the same object and every single photo looks slightly different
Not sure if you purposefully left it out but I think k it’s also worth talking about the Apple Pencil
I’ve had a MacBook and iPod in 2006 and it was great. Then I got an iMac and Apple phone and watch and I was like woah. Now I have a Mac Studio, m3 iMac, Apple Watch, iPad, Apple Pencil , AirPod pros apply tv 4k and I’m like wtf did this happen.
Great video man
I love Apple. I love the iPhone and the iMac, but I use a Sony TV and a Garmin Fenix 3 HR watch, and Skullcandy earbuds. I feel that an Apple TV, Vision Pro, Watch, and AirPods are basically unnecessary. But whatever, when I have enough money I will definitely get them all.
Password 2 factor authentication; iCloud Keychain has 2FA built in to passwords and if you use an iPhone, or safari, it automatically sends the code when you log in.
It's so well integrated, unlock Microsoft, which wont' even bring dark mode, and their backups half the time fail, so you have to redo all the two factor code setup over again.
You can tell Apple put some serious thought into everything, whereas, other companies just tack things on to 'be like Apple' because that is what people want.
I want my tools to work for me, I dont' want my tools to require tons of attention in order to work properly. I would rather focus on the things I want to work on.
I was on android up until last year and I will say it is worth the switch but at the same time I miss many android features...UI for example. Both are very good and having both is great...I will say the apple ecosystem is the best since everything can sync up and work seamlessly together but it can still be interchangeable with no drawbacks

The Apple ecosystem's quality is undeniable. It's very good. That said, there are two crucial things that keep me from ever joining it: it's a closed ecosystem and it's an expensive ecosystem. It'd be nice to use less expensive third party tech with the Apple stuff but Apple actively discourages it. Green vs. Blue bubbles for example. As such, because I prefer Windows computers for gaming and Pixel phones for the cameras (and both for their lower price), I won't buy an Apple watch, for example, because it won't play nice with those two. Oh well... can't have everything.
You can use third party tech with Apple devices. Logitech mice, different brand keyboards, FitBit with iPhone, different brand earbuds and headphones, and probably more.
@@migu-loza This is true and I apologize if it sounded like a blanket statement. I more wanted to emphasize that Apple stacks the deck against third party stuff, especially if it has a first party equivalent. The Apple Watch has way more functionality within the Apple ecosystem than a Fitbit, for example. Same with Air pods vs. Galaxy buds and so on. While some 3rd party stuff will work, if you want all the Apple bells and whistles shown in this video, you're gonna have to pay for it.
@@migu-lozaThe keyboards, mice, and headphones are nothing special. Every device supports those. The watch is “supported” but most of the APIs that would actually be useful for a smart watch to utilize are just not available to Wear OS watches, compared to the Apple Watch. You can’t even send iMessages on them. It’s a closed ecosystem because the core devices (phone, computer, tablet, watch, earbuds, TV box, location tags, etc) only really function fully when you’re buying from Apple, even if there are third party options.

FORGET THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM I NEED ME ONE PINT OF GUINESS.
Not gonna lie, the issue I have with the whole 'is it worth it?' when it comes to Apple anything is the fact it costs about three or so times more to get a decent Apple product when an Android product that does the same thing (as an example, AirPods vs Galaxy Buds) is priced at a much, much lower price point. Any question of worth is immediately ruined for me when I have to pay so so much more for a product that has a lot of downsides.
Apple locks their products down like it's Fort Knox. You have to jailbreak your phone to do most things that can be done with an Android device out of the box (or by enabling Dev options).
Apple does not want you to leave their ecosystem at all - most Android devices do not care at all what you connect to them. I've used several different brands of headphones with my Android, and never had any issues at all. If you can read, you can connect two devices on Android.
I see you mentioned that Airpods let you share a Bluetooth connection. Only AirPods let you do that - on Android, the same can be done out of the box with a sufficiently new combo of headphones and Android device. (Assuming that if you pay the extra for AirPods Pro which are just AirPods minus the selling point of portability anyway, you have the income to buy recent enough smartphone and bluetooth headset.) (Also yes, I DID hear you talk about it as well, I just wanted to use it as a point for my argument here.)
Most advantages of the ecosystem boil down to things that A) are already a feature in Android devices, (some of them for generations before Apple thinks to add these things) or B) are completely pointless to add (removing the headphone jack caused most other manufacturers to do the same to keep up. I'm not going to write you another essay within this essay to explain why this is a bad thing).
Sure, things like unlocking your pc when you step up to it with your watch are cool and all, but when that PC breaks and you need replacement parts, you are locked into what Apple can provide and as such are paying a premium for the privilege of a name and an aesthetic. Apple products thrive on their reputation, and while I'm not saying they are bad - not at all! I've got an iPad myself, and it is a great device, but if it wasn't for one feature the iPad has (Apple Pencil) that they doggedly refuse to let others play with*, I'd have gotten an Android device as well.
(*Pointing this out since on Android, there have been collabs between WACOM and Samsung as well as pen manufacturers.)
Overall, Apple is not a bad product in a vacuum of 'does it perform very very well', but the price and the fact that if I get a product by Apple, I'm stuck begging them for help when there is an issue makes the whole argument die before it can even be asked at all for me. And yes, call me poor if you'd like, but I do not see the point of paying a premium for barely above standard hardware.
About your video though - I enjoyed your explanation and they way you spoke! It feels very human, like you are a real person who uses these products rather than just 'here are the specs, they wok', if that makes sense. Kind of the different between a sales person trying to sell me something or actually trying to offer me help to decide what item is best for me, ya know.
I remember the whole point of a phone being to find your friends. If you had like 6 kids to not lose on vacation maybe

I used to work with/for Apple once upon a time. originally I was on the Apple ecosystem in Japan and the UK and had to switch to Android plus Windows when I moved to the Philippines. I got used to the handoff between android and windows in general and had to move back onto the apple ecosystem (primarily for work), but you really do miss out on most of the soft features available in those primary markets, making it somewhat useless here, unless you’re using it for work.
I’d say if you’re living in a country which isn’t prioritized by Apple, it’s better to use Android + Windows, unless you absolutely have to use iOS or macOS for work purposes.
Where are Apple’s primary markets? Wherever they have official Apple stores (NOT their official resellers): the US and other Western countries, China, Singapore, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, and the UAE.
If you’re anywhere else? Android and Windows for a non work ecosystem.
Android phones are really bad & are made to be obsolete on purpose & windows laptops are not that good.
@@DustyKingTry buying a Windows PC or Android phone that costs as much as an iPhone or a MacBook, and you'll see how similar (perhaps better) those two devices are.
It depends on what you expect from your device.
@@ZeAbhinav s23u cost the same as the iPhone 15 Pro Max. iPhone 15 Pro Max has better battery life, way way better performance, better app optimization, gets way more years of software support, has MagSafe wireless charging, has a way better ecosystem support, iPhone supports the best smartwatch in the market, has dynamic island, has exclusive apps, iPhones have better all-around cameras, Samsung emojis are very poor, the video quality on the iPhone is way better, iPhone 15 Pro/Max has iMessage & can communicate with friends way better, iPhones have Apple Arcade, has so many features & iPhones have way way better resale value. iPhones 14/15 Series have Satellite Emergency SOS. iPhone 15 Pro/Max has an A17 Pro chip, has Raytracing technology, is way better at gaming, has an action button, has secure Face ID, is made of premium Titanium, has a 3NM processor, it has 10GB/S transfer speeds / double the transfer speed compared to the s23u, has 2000 nits display & has a better display. S23u costs over $1,200 & still doesn’t have symmetrical bezels in 2023 💀. Also, the iPhone 15 Pro/Max is getting triple-A games & nothing for android. Android phones suck at gaming. Sorry if you bought an overpriced s23u garbage. Enjoy your shutter lag on your $1200 phone 😬😬😬. Not to mention, the iPhone has Retro Bowl game.
2018 iPhones got iOS 17. Now name me an android from 2018 or 2019 or even 2020 that is getting Major software updates in 2024… there aren’t any 😂😂😂😂😂 Oh wait, you can’t cause overpriced android products are made to be obsolete.
2018 iPhone XR $750 phone got iOS 17. 2020 $1,400 Samsung s20 stopped getting software updates & is not getting android 14/samsung oneIU 6.

@@ZeAbhinav Just buy an Apple silicon MacBook which is cheaper, faster & better than windows laptop.
Go watch Max Tech Apple silicon MacBooks vs more expensive windows laptops comparison & then talk. Windows laptops are nowhere near Apple silicon MacBooks in performance, battery life & efficiency.
Also, Find me a Windows laptop that has 22 plus hours of battery life, has the performance of M3 Pro/Max chip, has full performance on battery, has a 4K 1,600 nits 120hz mini-LED 16-inch display, doesn't lose performance when unplugged, fans are always quiet, efficient processor, made of aluminum, has Ray Tracing, supports up to 128GB RAM with 8TB SSD, has loudspeakers with a great webcam, top-notch trackpad, have a biometric, top built quality display, has a thin premium design, has thin bezels & doesn’t need a separate power brick/charges with a USB-C.
@@ZeAbhinav iMac starts at $1,300 & maxes out at $2,500 whereas windows desktop with similar specs and performance costs way more than the iMac.
Bro, try finding me a windows desktop for $2,000 that has the performance of the M3 chip, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 4.5K resolution display, 600 plus nits of brightness, made of premium aluminum, is super thin, has built in loudspeakers & has a 1080p webcam.
