Poll of the Day > Officially made the switch to all Apple products.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Android/Google removing Google Music was just the last straw for me.

Plus, I got a new Macbook Pro so that pushed me in that direction as well.

So, what cool new things can I expect?

---

You can expect all the features you are already familiar with from Android to be released next year on the iPhone.

Congrats on the new Macbook for real though.

---

I like iPhones over androids but holy shit, I will never buy another Mac.

although my MacBook is literally 10 years old and still works great (considering its from mid 2010)

If it still works great, why would you never buy another Mac? Just not a fan of the OS?

not really. Im used to it at this point but its extremely limiting as to what it can do.

Congratulations on switching to Apple, the company that wants forced labor to make their garbage as cheap as possible.

I should have expected passive aggressive comments.

What an awful way to look at the world.

---

Last apple product I bought was an ipod classic over a decade ago. Last rotten apple I'll ever buy.

Imagine being so goddamn dumb you think thats limited to Apple.

Yup calling out Apple for supporting forced labor so they can make their garbage as cheap as possible is definitely a awful way of looking at the world.. we should all just keep our mouths shut and or be okay with it.

gross

Geez people can be unpleasant. Lol.

Yeah. That's how it is here. But I expected this because of how any time anyone mentions Apple, people go crazy... They don't like it that other people are fine with Apple. Even if more companies do the same thing, it doesn't matter because they just don't like that Apple does it. I could care less. I'm use to the iPhone, but suck at android products. People either say they are the same or easier. But not for me. They seem completely different. And I always have trouble with using android products. I never know what I'm doing. And my games are on here. Those are my main reasons for not leaving iPhone...

I don't play PC games actually, so I don't see this as a negative.

its definitely a neckbeard thing to single out apple for the shit that literally every tech company does but its still gross and capitalism still sucks major ass because all it does is incentivize this shit

---

I understand the griminess of these corporations. But this isn't what the topic is about.

I just got a new Mac for the first time ever and now I'm getting an iPhone. Instead of googling through videos, was just hoping to have a pleasant discussion of some of the features I can utilized by having a streamlined environment.

The new iPhone doesnt even come with a mousepad

Which iPhone?

Congrats. Expect amazing synchronization between your devices. Consider getting 50 GB of iCloud space for $1 a month. All of the stock apps are great and I believe iWork is free. Just spend a bit using them and youll get used to it and start liking them a bit than office for projects that arent super intense. AirPods work great with these devices also.

Consider buying the following two apps from the Mac store: Magnet, Daisy Disk

Also, look into Things 3 for all devices. Its expensive but worth it if youre into that kinda thing. Reminders is fine but Things is a whole new level.

Apollo is the best Reddit app.

Shortcuts lets you build quick and great automations.

Also if youre looking for apps, theres a few good photoshop replacements for cheap.

Internet browsing is seamless.

Get hand off working.

Make sure you texts can go to and from all devices, even the ugly green non-Apple ones.

Your copy and paste can transfer between devices. If its not working well then use Notes to quickly transfer.

Look I into Pythonista if portable python sounds good to you. The best IDE on Mac is pycharm.

yeah I already said that

Doesn't Reddit already have it's own app?

Edit: I looked it up, but Apollo doesn't even seem to have notifications...

I hope that's your first iPhone or you went generations between a new one. The 12 is a rip off if you already had an 11.

This would be my first iPhone ever. I'm going from a Galaxy Note 9.

Probably should have stayed with an Android then. I only have an iPhone since they had the best app store at the time I got it.

Honestly, I think I just needed a change. I have no issue with Android, it's just that I wanted something different and as I said before, having the Macbook kinda helped this a along.

It's awkward switching between products once you get used to one. I had a MacBook pro for awhile and did not like my HP Spectre 360 at first when I switched. Now I can't imagine going back to a Mac. I tried to use my girlfriend's and I didn't like it anymore. Same feeling if I try and use an iPhone.

You'll be back, they always come back.

Gotta say guys, I'm very happy with the switch so far.

The quintessential American company built mostly on fraud, deception and theft. Congrats though on your new wares.

It's funny to me how polarizing Apple can be to people (as a product). The people that don't like it really go outta their way to shit on the people that do. To the point it comes across as weird and petty, like Mr. Apple banged their mom and dunked his nuts in their cereal.

I wouldn't say polarizing it's just apple is in a weird niche where they don't just sell tech, they sell identity. So unlike standard critism for tech, when you say the same thing about an apple product you're attacking someone's whole identity.

It is very strange, especially since literally EVERY tech company is trying to do what Apple does - which is build an ecosystem. They're just the only ones that has been really successful. I think maybe Samsung has had some moderate success, but nowhere near the level of Apple.

But getting involved in tech wars is a young man's game, I'm far too old and apathetic for it all these days. There was a time where I was strict Linux user (10+ years) and took Richard Stallman' words as gospel...but those days are long gone.

I also find it sus AF that my iPod classic just up and decided to die a week after apple discontinued it after I spent literally 3 years dialing in "shuffle" to be perfect.

Fuck apple.

Apple uses shitty parts from shitty manufacturers like Foxconn and markets their shit as high-end and prices it as such. No idea why people buy their shitty products.
---

*shrug*

Everything seems to be working great for me so far. The transition was more seamless than I could have imagined.

And I really do like the iPhone...like a lot more than I thought I ever would. I've been an Android user for over 10 years. Before that I had one of the first Windows phones (VX6800). I hate to say it guys, but the iPhone appears to be a superior product in every way for what I use it for.

Wait until your phone is updated into oblivion when the apple 13 comes out.
