More bites of the Apple

I know that what I’m about to say is sacrilege but, frankly, the PC fanboys can get off my back about it. Basically, I love how awesome Apple’s integrated ecosystem has become, and I’d love to see more coverage of it in Maximum PC. I have an iPhone, iPad, Macbook, and Airpods, and as the old Apple marketing tagline goes, they simply just work.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love my custom built PC. It’s my favorite non-lifestyle thing in the world, for sure, but I don’t treat it like a tool—it’s a hobby, something I’m always improving, upgrading, and investing in. However, Apple devices are different, I see them as tools.

Apple devices are exceptionally high quality and work well for general productivity and media consumption on levels that Windows just can’t compete with. Windows is constantly getting better at syncing with Android, but Microsoft doesn’t have it down to a tee like Apple, thanks to its closed ecosystem.
