    The difference is, if you have an iPhone and want to buy a smartwatch/earbuds you will likely pick Apple made ones, as they are artificially made better than the competition.

    While on Android you can pick from a bunch of different companies without any real downsides, and when you want to switch to a different phone (e.g from a Samsung to a Pixel) you won’t need to switch your smartwatch or earbuds.

      I am guessing the watch won’t, but surely you can use the Iphone earbuds with any other phone, no?

      I guess my point is my wife has Iphone, I don’t. It would be way easier for her to come back to android, then for me to go to apple, I would have to buy so many cords and peripheral stuff. The only thing that probably wouldn’t work is the watch she complains about anyway if she came back.

        You can use AirPods on Android, but you will lose certain basic features, like software updates, equalizer, changing controls, and more. Not to mention that for a long while you would also be stuck with one different cable to charge this one accessory. It all adds up
