    Google products work on pretty much every platform, whereas with Apple you’re out of luck if you use any non-Apple platforms.

      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.

        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.

          I wasn’t cherry picking. The assertion was nothing was available on other platforms.

          And my pushback didn’t say everything was.
