I’m talking here about their hardware (MacBook, iPhone, iPad, iWatch) and software (iCloud, Apple One, mail, passwords, wallet, other apps), in terms of owning all of that.

What’s your opinion on using everything that comes from Apple? Is there anything that you would throw away from the “basket” full of apples? If yes, then what would be that and why?

    Definitely a reason to go all in apple hardware. The inter-operability between iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, Apple TV and AirPods are unmatched. As for services I think they are great except for the default office productivity suite. Numbers is way less powerful than excel or sheets. And the others are much better for sharing and collaboration for people not in the ecosystem. I prefer google drive or office 365 for that reason. There is a few things about iCloud Drive, like the inability to stream media off of it that leads me to prefer the other services as far as cloud storage goes

      Numbers is without doubt much less powerful than excel but I still think most people should give it a try. The freeform multi table view is fantastic for presentability in a way I can’t replicate in excel, at least not as easily and elegantly.

      I’m not saying give up excel, but there are situations where I’d rather use numbers!
