    I've had only ever Apple products and I feel they're not too bad. (aside from a Chromebook & dell laptop)
    I've even borrowed friend's devices for a few days just to see their advantages(I have to admit, I was clumsy)
    I've read around forums (all forums, not just this one, along with personal experience) and have received hate from backing up Apple.
    What's the big deal?

    Lags behind others, doesn't adapt with other systems well, default languages aren't as good (objective c and swift), looks awful. I'm talking about the phones operating system thoigh, rather than Apple as a whole. Don't get me off on hardware.

    iPod touches > iPhones

    -They don't innovate, they take ideas from others and say their uninspiring devices are "revolutionary".
    -They make you spend 3x as much as what their products are worth.
    -The have terrible UI in my opinion, and UX.
    -They make things complicated and try to force you to their ecosystem just to use a single product of theirs. (I had to download awful iTunes with its confusing interface to add music to an iPhone my girlfriend gave me.)
    -Too much white and gray everywhere in their software.
    -The only thing I like from them is GarageBand, and I don't see them putting that on any non-Apple OS so I don't use it anymore.

    Apple products are actually great for production related stuff.
    iMacs work a lot better for movie/sound editing, than normal computers. I also find the performance of most adobe programs to run a lot better on iMacs, and mac's in general. I used to study/work with design, and move/sound production before, and the hate subject amongst my fellow students used to be normal computers.
    I dont ever game anything, except freerider, and I haven't had any problems with any of my different computers/macs through the years on that subject.
    And when it comes to phones, ipads, ipods and other apple products in general I have no opinion what so ever. Except that their earplugs for the iphone 5 are pretty decent, I have like 5 pairs lol.

    I like Apple, for me, the layout is more visually appealing and easier to work with. However, for gaming other computers are better (I don't game :p )

    I love iOS, but the regular for Mac is just clunky to me. I've owned both PC and macs, and graphic design is a smaller hobby of mine, but Adobe might be more overpriced than the computers they work better on. iPods are basically the only thing I would ever want to buy again.
