      By and large, probably… But I don’t think it’s true for everyone.

      As an iPad owner myself, I would love to ditch the OS! And I suppose alternative OSes would be pretty popular with the people jailbreaking their phones.

      I don’t want to impose alternative OSes on others. I would just like the option for me!

      Not true. I’d love to be able to jailbreak again. I’m locked in to the ecosystem by work and a backlog of apps 15 years deep.

      Granted I’m on Lemmy so I guess I’m not a normal iOS user

      Yeah it’s literally a status symbol amongst kids.

      My kid is desperate for one but can’t give me a single compelling reason apart from they’re seen as cool.

        I like Apple products because they just work. I have tried Windows, Linux, & Android, but I ultimately decided on just using the Apple Ecosystem (except for my gaming computer) because the products just work well. Sure they cost more and are locked down but I am willing to sacrifice those things for things for the boost in productivity.

        Apple isn’t for everybody but their products have upsides.
