There's so much ignorance in your post. I agree the apple ecosystem is good but Samsung and Microsoft also have seamless connection while working with files. I can be working on a file on my Samsung phone and continue with it on any windows laptop and vice versa. Galaxy gears work seamlessly too this same way apple watch work with airpords and all. My point is you shouldn't make it seem like only apple products are capable of these but I must admit the apple ecosystem is very good.

You claim there is a lot of ignorance in my post yet you agree with majorly all my positions.

Files are just a small, tiny part of the whole equation.

Bush rat get thigh, Antelope get thigh, e no mean say both thighs na same meat full am.

While you can seamlessly share files on any cloud based system, Apple has launchd at the core of its services and all their operating systems have event listeners built into them from ground up.

Except you design your OSes and hardware yourself, with the ecosystem as an explicit design language, you cannot have that level of integration.

Samsung does not run its OS. It is either running Android or Windows (or linux in some instances).

Windows and Android are like those big shirts that are sold during christmas that can size everyone in the family but fits no one.

Apple hardware and softwares are custom-designed.

This is also why some Androids need 8gb RAM to even breathe while IOS would work perfectly with 2gb.

Very true.

You can enjoy your device independent of other offerings in the ecosystem.

Each Apple device (except say the Apple Watch) can stand alone to offer the user a valued interaction.

It is just that the beauty shines more, if used together, unlike if we use separate providers.

No other manufacturer offers a similar competition, irrespective of the wannabe mash ups they offer.
Pixel and Samsung has done a good job...

But 12th gen is a little more powerful than M1 now but apple still has d upper hand in efficiency

Intel was lazy. Imagine Intel processors scoring similar performance metrics year on year and getting hotter and hotter.

Apple gave them a shocker.

Apple has left M1 and is currently selling M2.

I am sure Apple is already working on M3.

Apple has its flaws too but as Hawking said, "Without imperfection, we would not exist"

No need for insults. Some of you talk without reasoning. Any android tablet with a keyboard becomes a laptop for general computing purposes. However there are android laptops. I owned two by Lenovo.

The point i made is there is nothing you sated that cant be done on the android ecosystem. You have! The guys to call me pikin for stating facts? Cant you view a different opinion and respond in a mature manner Anyway that is the way with this generation.

You called my post crap and you expect that i would not respond to that? If you shoot, expect to be fired upon.

What you used is possibly a chrome OS device (not Android).

An Android tablet, even with 1 million keyboards is not a laptop.

Android is not designed to handle computing capabilities of a laptop.

If you dont shoot, i wont bite.

Google is wishing it owns an ecosystem like that of Apple, which is one of the reasons for starting the pixel and chrome OS platforms.

I however prefer to give Apple my details than Google.

Nope m2 pro and max is coming next year also ultra. While true that Apple held Intel by the balls the platform is already showing weakness only external PCI expansion is thunderbolt. The M1 ultra is a disaster can not use more than 64gb ram something to do with the design. Thunderbolt is PCI 3 x4 which 4GB/s theoretical but only 2.8gb is revered for data. PC is now pcie 5 which is 64GB/s at X16. Where Tdp is not an issue PC both Intel and Amd are already ahead. Let's no go graphics look at what Nvidia is doing.

Shitty new 256GB phone that hangs. 5 days old. I've not installed apps on it yet o, only snapchat. Taken one or two pics with it. Use it to make & receive calls mainly. I go to my call log, click on the number I want to dial and the shitty phone hangs. I hate the phone so much that I hardly use it. Always in my bag. When I'm in the office,on my desk. At home, anywhere. I'm using my Xperia to type.

Don't like the rigidity of the phone. I'm an Xperia girl. Best android phone ever to use but most people don't know this.

I use a 12 Pro Max, and it hasn’t hung for a sec.
There has to be something wrong with the device u’ve got.

To simply explain:

We've had Web 2.0 (e.g Nairaland, etc) and Web3 platforms like OpenSea. The Metaverse is what comes next. The Metaverse is a digital space where people can own super valuable digital assets, like land (yes, land), some special NFT and cryptocurrencies. The Metaverse gives users the ability to interact with these assets, through AR/VR.

Metaverse coins are one that have been built with utilities that that revolve around the Metaverse. Just like how Web3 blew up, these coins might be the next biggest things when the Metaverse blows up.


Thanks bro
I know when mark introduced the idea
But I didn't do any research

Your type full beer parlour.

You came into the convo. blasting all guns and attacking, yet left without offering a factual counter.

When you are coming back, please remember to tell us which Laptop runs Android natively and benefits from your fabled ecosystem.

When also coming back, tell us how Google who is the master snooper is honestly protecting your privacy when they are not invading it with their devices.

When also coming back, kindly remember to tell us which platform covers more device integrations for a single sign on than Apple.

Oga with a Samsung device I can do all these things so rest.

There is Samsung Dex.

Watches.

Phones.
Seamlessly connected. With Dex I can do most if not all of my heavy tasks on my laptop. Wireless connection. I can receive mails, starting replying on my phone and continue on my tablet or laptop connected via dex to continue from where I stopped. I can send pictures, render 4k videos, do anything I want at any time.

Connect wirelessly to more than one Samsung device at the same time. This was a feature I enjoyed when I was using an S20+ as my secondary device while I was also using an S21 ultra.

Abi is it notes? Seamless. Start notes here and read them on another Samsung device. Phone or tablet.

See oga don't come and say what you don't know simply because you haven't tested it. Fight for apple as an iSheep and we no go disturb you, but don't come and say android has no ecosystem. Just dey cap dey go.

iPhone, iPhone iPhone, e dey here nothing I dey use am do. After using it to impress babes and collect phone numbers, e don finish. I don't even use it to take pictures, cos it has very rubbish processing of black faces.

Nothing you wan tell me about iPhones or apple I haven't seen before. It's very good, but there isn't a thing it does that android doesn't do. Everybody is copying each other.

Common google chrome will save passwords for me on my email address and I can access those same passwords for any app I want to sign in once I did my first sign-in with my Google account the first time. I literally don't have to sign-in again once my google account is domiciled in my device.

Rest my G. Beer parlor talk but when we reach there, after you order two bottles you go run say you dey lightheaded, meanwhile we Sabi why grin

You'd really love the idea behind the Metaverse. I think you should invest the time in knowing what its about. It'll come with crazy opportunities soon, and only the early adopters will benefit greatly.

Stop giving false tongue to gain advantage. I bought my 11pro max in 2020 and I have taken it under the water for snaps and video making in the pool more than 20 times and before I switched to 13pro max my phone never gave me any problem and as a matter of fact my baby sis is still rocking the phone without any issue
