I get this a lot. "You're an Apple fanboy." Not really. I just like their products. I find the iphone X intuitive and easy to use. Love the facial recognition feature. I use an apple watch to monitor work outs, running, check messages or fire off quick responses, etc. I use an ipad for reading my kindle stuff or watching movies on a plane. And I use a macbook pro for pretty much all my work and coding.
And all the devices are interconnected intuitively and easily. It just works for me.
The one thing I'll knock them for are air pods. Those things are a violation against god and man. If someone wants wireless earbuds, go with Enacfire e18's. They're far cheaper, with great sound quality, and they come with a portable charging dock that fits in your pocket.
Otherwise, meh. Agreed about the cords though. Those things fray. Mainly if you're trying to use a device while charging. I bought some knock-off braided lightning cables off Amazon for cheap.
I do, however, use a Windows 10 PC at home as my desktop. Mainly for writing and gaming. Macs are shit for gaming.
