yeah but they don’t have linux versions of any of their software. an increasing number of people are ditching windows because of microsoft’s intensifying enshittification and hackintoshes are dying because of the mac transition to apple silicon
@paraphrand@clf@apple_enthusiast my only real problem with iOS/macOS is that iWork isn’t ODF compatible which makes it useless for me as I collaborate.
Nice cherry picked examples. iMessage isn’t available on other platforms, and it’s impossible to join a shared iphotos album from a non apple device. Two features that are arguably the most important for non apple users.

Apple Music is on Android and Windows.
Apple TV is one a wide range of devices.
AirPlay is on a wide range of TVs, and Roku boxes.
iCloud is on Windows. Files, photos, contacts, etc. They just added Passwords.
So out of luck isn’t exactly true. Unless you are a die hard Pages user or something. And there you have a web app.

Apple Maps also is available via browser for a few weeks now.
@paraphrand @that_leaflet @apple_enthusiast you can use Apple Music in the browser just so you know.
Same with many (most) iCloud things.

It’s strange that this far on, that wouldn’t have been added yet. Even in a usable, but not nice to use way.
@paraphrand totally agree. I don’t understand the thinking behind “walled garden” software.

I wasn’t cherry picking. The assertion was nothing was available on other platforms.
And my pushback didn’t say everything was.
