I am a bit of a ergonomic junkie. IDK why. I just love smooth, seamless transitions. Designs that promote natural intuition.

Im gonna take you guys back in time, for a moment, to, not my first iPhone, but, a few models after down the line. I said something really strange while discussing the iPhone 6 plus with another shopper in line when they released. I said to them, that, there is something about Apple, that, its like a family, or a close knit community. You can feel it when you look at the name, or think about the devices. Theres something /there/. For some reason, anything else, is much like staring off into a void. I don't feel anything when I look at other creations.

Growing up, people pushed and recommended Android for customization, but, what about connectivity. If I want customization, I can refer to my own bedroom or home, can't nothing be more you than your own home. As rough of an example as that is, but, I bought a phone to connect and to interact with others. How much customization do I need to call a friend, or a family member? I dial there number and thats it.

The Apple lifestyle, for me, is all about being able to just enjoy information in a beautiful, smooth, and elegant fashion.

Apple design and ergonomics are just so nice and as you add in more devices and meanings it just gets better.

Just love the times I get to do some brief reading on my iPhone, testing the waters, wondering if its worth handing over to an iPad Mini or Maybe a Pro 11" cause I wanna do some gaming after, meanwhile with my favorite jazz atmosphere music playing in the background on my iPad Pro. All I gotta do is air drop something different if I want to change the mood.

New information is generally just a glance away.

The meaning. The accessories. The environments. The People. The successes and the failures. The experiments and the priorities. When its with Apple its all just.. different.

I feel like anything is possible. Thats my Apple lifestyle. Anything is possible.
 
Close to nonexistent.

We just use select tools that get the job done reliably and cost-effectively. Some are based on Apple platforms while others are Android, ChromeOS and Linux OS-based.

I use an M1 Studio and Pro M3 14" MacBook Pro. My wife uses an iPhone 15 Pro and M1 Air. We both use older iPads for a few things (me: catching up for an hour or so social media 1-2x per month and FT with my grandkid). I dumped Apple phones after the 8 Plus and switched to Android with no regrets.

The only app I rely upon for interoperability is LocalSend (which is free). It shuttles files flawlessly between Android, Chromebook, iPads, iPhone and macOS systems. We do not use Siri (or any other virtual assistants), Apple Intelligence, AppleTV, digital watches, cloud storage (other than the free 5 GB for wife's mobile and free 17 GB on each Google account), etc.
