Good Morning Nostr 🧡⚡

Another #AskNostr for you today. More specifically for the iOS users.

I'm curious, what features or attributes of the iOS ecosystem make you happy to stay within Apple's walled garden?

Integration of products and support:

- I or my wife take photos and videos with iPhone, we both have them available in a shared library, have them backed up to iCloud, can watch them easily on TV with Apple TV

- when everyone is asleep, I can watch TV without disturbing anyone because I can easily connect my AirPods to my AppleTV

- shared clipboard between my iPhone and MacBook (I know it can be somehow done on Linux and Android maybe, but with iCloud it’s automatic

- iOS updates for many years, I still have iPhoneXR

- hardware quality of MacBooks

- when Apple will stop releasing MacOS updates for your MacBook and the latest MacOs will be slow on your device, you can install Linux and use it for basic tasks (I have Ubuntu on my old MacBook Air 2012)

Appreciate the detailed feedback man, very insightful. I guess a TLDR would be:

'It just works'?

You can say that :) 20 years ago while being a student I used Gentoo Linux and I spent more time compiling, tweaking, breaking and fixing thinks than any real work. Then during my first job I moved to Ubuntu and the thrill of running the bleeding edge came from running Ubuntu dev repos. As I got older and didn’t have time to tinker with stuff, I just moved to Mac. But I sure miss those Gentoo/Ubuntu times, so sometimes I install some Linux distros in VM just know what has changed.

It's the seamless interoperability and synergy you get with your Apple devices. When you add a new product into the mix, they fit and work well together.

Your products also work well interacting with other Apple users and even 3rd party accessories.

They seem to manage the experience very well and plan out the 'what could go wrong'. But that leaves you having to do things their way. There are a lot of restrictions if you're more of a power user.

Sorry for the buzzword/jargon soup.
