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.
@paraphrand @that_leaflet @apple_enthusiast you can use Apple Music in the browser just so you know.
Same with many (most) iCloud things.
@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.
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.
