I love to read the iHate...
I used to be that guy who was always fiddling with computers, downloading the latest Linux distributions, fiddling more than using...then I found iOS in my first iPod Touch...I haven't really looked back since then.
These things just work... I didn't have to fiddle much if any to get the device to do what I wanted it to do. Now I just pay a little bit upfront for innovation and durability and get years of use out of our devices.
I have an iPhone 5 still...no real intention to move to an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus... No need... I just installed a new battery and it's great.
Typing this message on a first gen iPad Mini which works Perfect. I have had it for a long long time...It streams music over wifi all workday...everyday...along with being my go to device for Google Docs for speeches and that sort of thing.
I use Griffin chargers for my iPad Mini and IPhones... They seem to be much more durable than the Apple originals. pricy though
I have yet to find an Android product that actually improves my user experience... I know iOS...I can use it well...I have a decent suite of productivity apps.
I am also a fan of Chrome OS, and we have two Chromebooks in the house that can do some heavier tasks such as intensive typing and that sort of thing.... But for my day to day mobile experience... The iPad mini is with me everywhere I go.
Oh, Pebble smart watch is on my wrist 24/7... It integrates well into my iOS lifestyle... It tracks my fitness goals, sleep, weather, notifications, as well as being a dang good watch. No fancy apple watch for me. That's probably a different discussion though.
Thanks!
