    Yeah it’s literally a status symbol amongst kids.

    My kid is desperate for one but can’t give me a single compelling reason apart from they’re seen as cool.

      I like Apple products because they just work. I have tried Windows, Linux, & Android, but I ultimately decided on just using the Apple Ecosystem (except for my gaming computer) because the products just work well. Sure they cost more and are locked down but I am willing to sacrifice those things for things for the boost in productivity.

      Apple isn’t for everybody but their products have upsides.

        They just work (usually) if you want to use their products the way they want you to use them.

        If you have your own idea how to do something on your own that’s any different, you will slowly go insane.
