Linked: “iPhone is vulnerable to a device that Just Works”

via Scripting:

So the iPhone is far more vulnerable than Marco says. Give me a device that’s reasonably nice and Just Works, and I’m outta here.

PPS: Android really isn’t any better than iPhone. True, there’s no iTunes. To copy stuff on the phone you just drag and drop, in the Finder. Rational. But otherwise it’s a hot mess of changing UI. There are some other nice touches though that indicate it might someday be great, like the way you get news on the devices. But can you find it? It’s a challenge.

I’m a Mac User first and iOS user second. So I ask, can you use Android within Apple’s ecosystem? Can I fully integrate with iCloud, Handoff, 25K iTunes songs, purchased TV shows & Movies from iTunes, backup to iCloud? iCloud Keychain, Safari Bookmarks, control my AppleTV with a remote app? How about pickup playing podcasts in iTunes I listened to on my iPhone? What about iBooks purchases or transferring Apple Health data or using my Apple Watch w/ Android?

Not to mention the thousands of dollars I’d lose in apps by switching platforms. 

If Android doesn’t fully integrate into my Apple Ecosystem, I have no reason to ever switch no matter how much people perceive Apple has lagged behind. I’m Apple’s best customer and if Artificial Intelligence & Virtual Reality is where they lag behind, I’m totally fine with that. Those are two things I have zero interest in.
