![]() ![]() I'm pretty happy with the iPhone offerings and rumoured pipeline, a little expensive, but not insurmountably so, particularly now I've stopped chasing the latest and greatest and am content to stick with a model at least 3 years. Are there a lot of you out there using iPhones but nothing else Apple? Are you using mostly Google services? Are you using Microsoft services? Are there any tips or tricks you'd like to share about crossing that bridge between Apple's world and the rest of the tech industry? Do you feel like there is a wide disconnect between your iPhone and your other devices? I am just going to stop right here because otherwise I will write many more paragraphs on this "what's the best setup" topic but I just wanted to know what you all use. Firefox tab syncing kind of gets the job done but it is not as seamless as just copy and paste into messages. Also, something as simple as browsing the internet on my desktop and wanting to send something I am looking at to my imessage group chat. Not having this on my PC is just annoying and I use it so much on my MBP every day. Most people I talk to have iPhones and they use iMessage. When I really sit down and think about what keeps me in the Apple ecosystem it really is just a few things at this point. OneDrive works wonderfully and much better than iCloud Drive. I think the new Surface Laptop looks great. ![]() I really don't mind Windows 10 however, and I feel like Microsoft has come quite a long way in a short time in terms of services and hardware. When I use my gaming PC I can't help but feel like I have all this power at my fingertips and I don't use it for anything besides gaming because I have conditioned myself over the years to think I need a Macbook Pro and macOS to get anything done. Things have changed a lot over the years and while I still feel like I enjoy the Apple ecosystem the most, I can't help but feel that I may be letting myself become trapped into one company's vision of the world when there are other, better, alternatives out there. I use DDG as my search, Apple Maps, third party ad free youtube app on iOS, etc. Also, as privacy and data collection has become more of an issue I have gone even further away from Google services. I never really got too heavy into Google services because over the years I have seen them introduce and drop so many products so quickly I just lost faith in them in anything outside of search, email, youtube, maps, etc. However, I have always had custom built pcs for gaming and always tried out Android devices over the years. I can't remember the last time I didn't have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro. I have been using Apple products since I got a 3GS back in 2009 and since then I have found myself slowly getting more and more into the Apple ecosystem. How do you use a mixed ecosystem of devices and services? Does it work well for you? I have been thinking about this for quite awhile and wanted to just pose a question to those of you on here that use a mix of devices.
