    All you’ve been talking about is the hardware. And you’re right about that. But the software is where everything gets turned on It’s head. Android releases continue to remove features and have issues. MacOS is much better in nearly every regard to Windows 10/11 or Arch/Ubuntu/younameit. I have been a user of every Windows version since 3.11 and Linux for a couple decades now. I recently got a macbook and holyshit. Plus it works better with my phone and watch and airpods. Really tight integration with all of their other products. Family integrations are way ahead of Microsoft, Android (at least the google and Amazon variety, I swore off Samsung years ago), and until the recent beta even Steam. If you’re going to sing the praises of Android and notamac, do yourself a favor and take a deepdive into the software space because as anyone can tell you about AMD vs nVidia, no matter how good the hardware is, if the software isn’t there it’s worthless (AI/ML, video drivers in general until last several years).

      i switched to android a few month ago, still can’t find a good enough pdf viewer, modern ebook reader, reminder app that is modern and syncs with whatever service i want (not only google). i mean stuffs that is preinstalled on every iphone and available for free. and people wonder why others buy iphone ?

      People buy iphone despite being it so locked down, expensive, hard to repair, having a thunderbolt port. because the alternative is even worst.

      but you can get an Android phone with similar specs for the same or less of a cost.

      i did the mistake of buying chinese xiaomi 12 phone, 100$ less than iphone mini but god this sucks ass. It’s awesome for the kid playing video game because of its processor watercooled whatever the fck but people who need simple phone to do work quick ? fck that.
