I’m convinced people who post these haven’t actually used apple devices seriously without going into it with their superiority complex. the fluidity and peace of mind not having to find fucking drivers for some shit from 2004 that have long been consumed by time it just plugs in and works. Or the fact that for instance a MacBook comes with everything you need to say decompress a file without downloading winrar or 7zip it’s built in. The apple version of ms office comes with the device. Not to mention the software being specifically written for the hardware means i haven’t had a day ruining crash in so long i can’t remember. Not having God damn ads on my desktop you gotta be kidding me. Text messages on all my devices. My mouse and keyboard on my mac can automatically control my iPad. Sure you can kinda do these things on the bootleg os’s kinda sorta but when it comes out of the box like that and i don’t have to fuck with 20 3rd party apps and ads on everything is 10000% worth it to me.

I agree, it's convenient to have a lot of that stuff work right out of the box, but then some obvious stuff, like making a slideshow from pictures on a usb device, or printing to PDF, or using network printers on mobile is either needlessly complicated or impossible (Odd examples but I'm not a daily Mac or iPhone user, these are just things I've encountered working on other's devices)

True theres some issues but as a complete bundle apples software outperforms in every task i need a computer for. (No i don’t play games on my pc i have consoles for that)
