I have never been an Apple fan. This harks back to the days when I started my business. I hated the way Macs were proprietary and made me depend on their service tech. My IBM-compatible PCs were easily fixed and upgradable with components sourced from Sim Lim Square.
When the world is moving towards open source and open standard, Apple seems to be going in the opposite direction. Are their devices still proprietary?
Some people use "fan boy" in a derogatory way.
I use Mac products because they are easy to use. As Apple is a market leader, it is also easy to get the trading software that I use on the IOS/Mac platform.
Security is important to me because I do financial transaction via the internet. That's why I avoid android. The only android box I am using is in my TV and an Nvidia Shield which I use to watch TV & movies
I put together my own PCs to do torrenting & sometimes to watch KODI. Nowadays my PC is sitting idle because it's more convenient to use my iMac which has a gorgeous 27" screen & a speedy SSD drive. I can use it to listen to CNN & MSCNBC while checking my email & shopping, travel sites.
Although I have an iPhone, I 'm carry around a simple Nokia phone on a daily basis. I only use my iPhone as a communicating device to check WhatsApp & line messages. To me a camera is not important. If I wanted to take pictures I have a Sony RX100 which I rarely use.
I'm retired & no longer keep up with the latest & greatest. Apple products represent easy to use products that even I can use. That is why my next Apple purchase will be an Apple Watch. It is actually a medical device with an EKG.
