Also: y’all should use Macs.
If you’re into graphic design or video editing, sure. I am not.
Apple products are, by and large, overpriced and heavily restrictive. Sure, you can install Bootcamp on a Mac and run Windows, but isn’t that defeating the purpose? The advantage of a PC is if I want to fix or upgrade a part, I can open my box and upgrade it. Like adult Legos. If a part on a Mac breaks, it’s time to buy a new Mac.
Also, I can not stand iOS. My dad gave me an old iPad when he upgraded to a newer model once upon a time, and I almost immediately was compelled to jailbreak it. Seriously—you can’t even do something as simple as change the app icon titles on the home screen, or give the folders actually interesting looking icons. Among other things. It’s beyond frustrating to have to cope with vanilla iOS.
The primary advantage Apple has is the ability to dumb down their interface and simplify settings so a monkey can probably use it. But I want more flexibility in my software, so no thank you.
It is also among these reasons that Apple TV is only a tiny fraction of the streaming box market, since they waited until the recent Apple TV 4 before you could install apps from the Store that didn’t come stock on the device when you bought it. So if my dad wants his ATV2 to access his media server, he has to install certificates on the ATV and run a script on the server that lets the server hijack the Trailers app. It’s ridiculous.
