    I agree. I work in IT and often get asked what the best phone is when someone is looking. I tell them to go to the store and play around with a number of phones for a while. The one they seem to like best or are drawn to more is the one they should get. It makes 0 difference to me what brand of phone/pc/diapers/whatever someone else uses.

      I have no problem telling non-technical people to get an iSomething. Most of the time, it just works, especially amongst its own ecosystem. Android on its own works plenty fine too, but getting it to play ball with other gadgets can be an adventure sometimes.

        Apple clearly expects/intends you to get a Mac if you have an iPhone. For a notebook, that’s great, I like MacBooks… there’s no way I’m getting a Mac desktop, though. There’s obviously great interoperability with iOS devices and MacBooks but not so much with Windows. Apple has an iCloud extension for Explorer, but it isn’t very well written and wastes a lot of resources. I also have never been able to get windows to connect to the iPhone for a wired USB hotspot.
