Why do people use apple? Why are there so many people who shill Apple? What benefits do you get by using Apple? Is it the “ecosystem”? Is it usability or is it status? I’m more confused than anything. From what I can see, Apple seems only good for creatives rather than business or development.
>>108535067>Why do people use apple?it's unix>What benefits do you get by using Apple?having a laptop with a non shit battery life that gets even worse when you install some linux distro instead of windows. if you don't need a laptop applel is pretty useless>Apple seems only good for creatives rather than business or development.it's pretty good for dev tho and nix-darwin is pretty nice
>>108535067People keep asking why anyone buys a Mac when they could be neck-deep in Arch rice or swapping laptop parts every 6 months. It's because most normalfags don't want their computer to be their hobby. The average /g/ autist turns the machine into an end unto itself: endless distro hopping, config tweaking, kernel compiling, and "muh customization" that never actually ends. Years go by and you're still not using the thing, just maintaining it like a pet project.Macfags (the non-retarded ones) just want a tool that works. Apple makes the best hardware in the game right now: insane efficiency on their silicon, the actual best trackpad ever made, tightest hardware/software integration, clean privacy stance, and that premium tactile feel from trackpad to keyboard to build quality. It just stays out of your way so you can get shit done instead of configuring your life away. Different priorities, simple as.
>>108535067>Is it the “ecosystem”? Is it usability?Yes. It's also the vast amount of professional software you can reliably run without having to use Windows.
i think iphone is pretty good. i hate all of their other products though.
>>108535067I’m pushing 40, I’m done tinkering and just want something that works and isn’t Microslop Jeetdows. Same reason I use Ubuntu Server LTS on my servers.
>>108535067>Is it the “ecosystem”?No. Something like 70% of people who own any apple product only have an iphone.>Is it usabilityYes.>is it statusNo.
>>108535067it just works, which is kyrptonite to linuxjeets
>>108535067I ditched windows and got a MacBook Neo for all my personal files, banking and shit. Wouldn't trust my first linux distro with that, since I am new to linux.

>>108535067I just ordered a samsung galaxy book4 for the fifth of a price of a macbook.Honestly people paying for this stuff are idiots.
>>108535498I bought an M2 15'' Macbook air on ebay for $650 and it's a better designed device.

>>108535067>Why do people use apple?status symbol>Why are there so many people who shill Apple?retards everywhere, never shill for a company that isn't yours>What benefits do you get by using Apple?status symbol>Is it the “ecosystem”?comfy jail bed is comfy>Is it usability or is it status?status>I’m more confused than anythingdon't think too hard about it, some retard buy expensive cars or clothes, it's the same retardation>From what I can see, Apple seems only good for creatives rather than business or development.wrong, they're mid at everything, apple is a lifestyle company, it does not matter what you can do with their computers otherwise they would release server and embedded editions of their hardware like a sane tech company would, they don't so they clearly don't care about tech.jusdt ignore this company, you aren't missing out on anything of value, it's the case with most companies these days sadly, most should go bankrupt for the betterment of humanity.
>>108535103i havent used a laptop with a battery life less than 8 hours since covid lol, really dont need more
>>108535067why this thread again. i use apple and don't udnerstand the shilling
>>108535067because they work, efficient and the ultimate gooning/shitposting machines
>>108536665It's a bait thread to attract people with AIDS (Apple-Induced Derangement Syndrome)
>>108536665it's the esl autist from spg crying for attention again, and hoping that shilling apple will change his situation.
>>108535067>What benefits do you get by using Apple?software dev without janky workarounds like WSL, don't need to spend time configuring all the time like Linux, it's secure>Is it the “ecosystem”?not really. there's not a ton there that can't be had outside of apple. calendar sync and little things like earbuds "just working" all work fine outside of applebut the one place the "ecosystem" is good is, again, security. I wouldn't use something like the passwords app if it's not secure. Since it is secure, I use it. And it is very convenient to have passkeys on all my devices.>Is it usability or is it status?usability in the sense mentioned above. Don't need WSL or endless configuration. I spend more time on actual development.
>>108535067Apple is the perfect thing for people too retarded to learn how to use a phone or computer, the UX is terrible, to the point anyone with two braincells will hate it, the self imposed limitations so they extract more money out of you are infuriating, the non upgradability of the hardware is also infuriating, but since everyone and their mother uses them in the US, there's extremely good support for business garbage, because basically everyone working in any business is a default mactard.It's fucking mindboggling how most windows and linux development is done in macs because there's a 1:1 correlation with "tech" people and being unable to navigate linux or even windows.

>>108535067they're the only reliable option to get away from the enshittiefied microsoft and googlebut I suspect they will also join them in like five years or some shit as they already hired some xda ricer jeet into their main design team

>>108535498>iNiggers>people
>>108535067it just works, the UI isn't hot garbage (slightly debatable ever since the last UI upgrade with the retarded rounded corners), homebrew just works/you don't have an app store dependency (if that were the case I wouldn't use that shit), trackpad is absolutely unmatched, apple M-chip is a night and day difference to the previously used Intel chips
>>108535166yeah.
>>108535498i just flew over my house
>>108536969get a toilet currynigger
>>108536969>you don't have an app store dependencyyou need an icloud account to install xcode and install/update any app installed via the app store, and that includes pages/numbers/keynote.
>>108537116That's only because it lowers the refresh rate to 1hz when the webpage is static, and it makes things glitchy in practice. Try harder, the Apple silicon M processors are the most efficient by a long shot.
>>108537116Get a therapist you demented fucking retard.
>>108537186He literally posts the same shit in ever Apple thread, fucking deranged.
>>108537153get a toilet curryniggeryour street shitter silicon is, was, and always will be currynigger shit
>>108537206He's also a favorite in Valve threads and I'm pretty sure he's the guy that shits up the place by calling Windows users 'babyduck'. Same unhinged bullshit. I assume 4chan is the only place left he can still post without getting instabanned.
>>108537226>tests Chrome not SafariCool self own, a few Chrome settings changes on macbooks makes that 12 hours for the Neo into 16 hours. What more do you need from a $599 laptop?
iMessage, iCloud, handoff, security.
>>108535166>why anyone buys a Mac when they could be neck-deep in Arch rice or swapping laptop parts every 6 months.that sounds awful.
