I have been a PC guy since DOS 2.2 and still prefer Windows on my computers.

My first smart phone was an iPhone 1, or the original. I upgraded about ever 4 models of release. I have a iPhone 11 Pro now. I so like, it, except I can not get any on my DVD movies I own and ripped to video to play on the phone at all. I know it is 100% Apple BS.

I use iTunes ONLY to back my phone up to my computer in case of failure or loss. It is so bad at music management, or content management, as to be totally useless. The phone has a wonderful camera, and I use that a LOT.

It is a total pain to copy the photos off to my computer, I find it better to just email them to myself.

My wife would likely fist fight anyone trying to take away her iPad. She has as iPhone as well, and they are all synced together and she does her digital life with it. She borrows my Windows laptop only to run a spreadsheet and have it on a file that is not on the cloud our under Apple control.

Apple has always had the "Velvet collar" control of their users. I can't stand that. I want the ability to build my own system from random parts I pick out, to be the system I want. Not some system Apple thinks I should have for a ton more money.
