It feels so weird!

@waffles In the earlier years of iOS, I hated it. I think my opinion was colored with a bit of fanboyism, but also it was just not what I wanted. I was forced to use it for work.

When I got fed up with Google devices, I tried iOS again and... now I'm on my second iPad, I have my third iPhone, and I have 2 macs.

Still feels weird, lol.

I tried desktop Linux many times over the past couple decades and it just didn't do it for me.

@bedast my preferred desktop is still i3 on Linux (both at work at home) but suddenly I’m an iPad baby for my “sit on the couch or coffee shop” computing experience.

I’d switched to an iPhone several years ago because my gf was on apple and it was easier for me to move to iMessage than her to move to signal etc., and ever since I’ve just slid more and more into the ecosystem

@waffles For me, I’m, okay maybe a bit of a fan boy, but going back to when I got my first iPod it just clicked for me how good computing devices could be when designers take some time to think about how to make something useful and kind of delightful and whimsical too.

The thing that keeps me though is having a common phone/tablet/laptop/watch platform that work together well. You can kind of sort of get a unified experience with android and chromeos but it’s not really the same at all.
